Rule Clarification - Gold Mine
« on: November 24, 2014, 01:13:10 PM »
Hello to you all from Brisbane - Home of the G20 2014.
I have read the CAR did a search on this forum but I couldn't find the answer to this situation for Gold Mines which we have only played twice.

Last night the tile with the Gold Bar was placed and the tile itself completed the feature (it was a road).
In referring to the CAR the rules stated:-

When placing a tile and distributing gold pieces, proceed in the following order:
1. Place (gold) tile
2. Place gold pieces
3. Place follower
4. Score
5. Award gold pieces


Since the process was place tile, then gold, then award - we determined that you could finish a feature (place tile) put down gold and then pick it up straight away.
Obviously the person who place the tile put the gold onto the adjacent tile with the finish feature (in this case it was the road). So an instant pick-up of two gold bars.
Have we done the correct thing?  Or must the gold mine tile be placed in such a way as to not finish features.

You played correctly. There is no such limitation on how the Gold tile is to be placed.
I just drew the perfect tile for my MonKnighThieFarmer!

I only can add, that it is correct if only one feature was completed through placement of that tile.
If two or more features were completed during that turn, then there can be other players, who could candidate for at least one gold piece.
