Well done Corinthiens 13, and a big thank you to meepledrone for the effort he's put in creating the quiz, doing the scoring and explanations, and keeping us amused with the ongoing chatter between the individuals. Merit from me.

For next year I must try and remember to look for hidden and half tiles, and not to assume that all meeples are the same - didn't spot at least one builder and mayor ...

Happy and safe New Year to all.

Congratulations to corinthiens13, that is a really great result! You were very quick all of the time and have a fantastic knowledge of the rules!
+ 1 merit from me!
????

The competition was a tough one this year, the level of experience has increased tremendously ????

@Meepledrone,
Would it be possible to post also the ranking with just the number of the  correct answers, in other words pretending that the reaction times would not matter. Just wondering if I would be able to keep up with all these great competitors knowledge wise  ;)

Hello everyone !

@Meepledrone : Thank you very much for this quiz (a first for me).

And congratulations to Corinthiens13 for his victory !

I would like to had that I wish an happy new year to each yof you, members of CarcC !!

@Meepledrone, I've got a question :

One sentence said the contrary of the other... On the one hand, it's said that points for the completion of the tent (...) are not considered part of the feature scoring and on the other  hand, the same teacher may decide to score 0 points for the fortune teller tent...
Question #24: ...
- The completed fortune teller tent worth 0 points (note that points for the completion of the tent or the fairy bonus are not considered part of the feature scoring)
AND
3) Least points the Teacher can score in this scenario
The Teacher may decide to score 0 points for the fortune teller tent.
I don't understand if something is not allowed at first, why is it just few line in a second time without any change in the game ?

Could you explain it to me please ? And thank again for this really nice story and game !

First of all, Happy New Year!

Hello everyone !

@Meepledrone : Thank you very much for this quiz (a first for me).

Thank you! It's been a pleasure and even a more challenging experience than last year!  ;D

And congratulations to Corinthiens13 for his victory !

I would like to had that I wish an happy new year to each yof you, members of CarcC !!

I would like to congratulate everyone, I've sitting on the edge of my seat everyday checking the answers and following who was  becoming the leader in this quiz. Anything could happen each day. I've been surprised with the level of the participants...  :(y) :(y)

@Meepledrone, I've got a question :

One sentence said the contrary of the other... On the one hand, it's said that points for the completion of the tent (...) are not considered part of the feature scoring and on the other  hand, the same teacher may decide to score 0 points for the fortune teller tent...
Question #24: ...

I don't understand if something is not allowed at first, why is it just few line in a second time without any change in the game ?

Sure!

The Fortune Teller Tent is a very particular feature. When completed...
* The occupier receives 0 points for the feature itself (the player already enjoyed the beneft of drawing additional tiles). These are the points the teacher (or a castle) could receive. (This is what I mention in the second sentence in red: the points for the feature itself)
* The player who places the tile completing the fortune teller tent receives 3 points. This is a bonus for the player, like getting the trade goods for completed city when playing with T&B, but this time the bonus consists in points. It has nothing to do with scoring  the feature itself. Therefore this bonus cannot be trigger the scoring of a castle or be received by the teacher. (This is what I mention in the first sentence in red: the points bonus points for the player completing the feature)

Let me know if this makes things more clear.  ;)

Sad, but yes. It is the points the player gets for the feature. Something similar would happen with a small city with a mayor for example (sorry no coats of arms :'()

@Meepledrone thank you for this quest :)
+1 is not enought
We all see that it's a lot of rules which we use not correctly even on standard large expansion (castle).
So we start again in Slovakia quarantine so it will be more time for play and read rules :)

Still a pity that I made that one stupid mistake. It was not that I didn't know the correct rules, just stupid ????

Thanks, Bumsakalaka!

Thank you so much for participating  ;D

There are many small details in the wording with terrible implications when combined. Hope this helped shed some light in weird cases that may happen... When I started with this I got amazed with all the complexity you could accumulate with a few tiles...  ;)

Hope the lockdown ends soon and you can lighten up those hours at home with a bit of Carcassonne.

Happy New Year!
