I haven't played much with Abbey & Mayor (live), but I played two games agains the AI recently and I think in both it forced me to play my Abbey tile in the middle of the game. The tile appeared at the top right as the tile that I need to place on my next turn.
Is this a rule that I've missed (I checked the CAR and didn't see anything)? I always thought the Abbey tile was used whenever you wanted? Maybe this is just a limitation of JCloisterZone at the moment?
