Carcassonners with the expansion enabled will receive a King icon next to their avatar, while players with the longest roads get a Robber Baron caricature. Whichever player has either icon at the game's finish will receive bonus points.

The expansion, based on the board game's King and Scout expansion, arrives after the 12-tile River II expansion in August, also available for 300 Microsoft Points ($3.75), and the River expansion bundled with the full 800 Microsoft Point ($10) Carcassonne game.
