Cloisters and Shrines
« on: July 09, 2016, 03:33:01 PM »
Scenario: An occupied shrine has one empty space in the surrounding 8 tiles, but that space is already surrounded by eight tiles. A player draws a Cloisters tile that fits into that space and plays a follower to the Cloisters, effectively completing both features?

Is a challenge initiated (and, if so, who wins?), or has the placing of the Cloisters "completed" the Shrine prior to the wood placement on the Cloisters? We assumed that each would score 9 as both features completed at the same time?

I don't think you can place a cloister adjacent to a shrine.

Assuming no other Cloisters and/or Shrines are in the vicinity (in which case no more can be placed there), there is no challenge as both features are finished simultaneously. Scoring occurs after placement, and since challenges are an aspect of Scoring, both features will score their full amounts. So you're assessment is correct. If a single tile was missing still from either feature, a challenge would be initiated and the feature with the missing tile would lose.
