Hello everyone!Thought I share a semi-mega game of Carcassonne completed earlier today (Sunday September 8, 2013).Score: Yellow (me) at 195, Black (my cousin) at 166 and Blue (my sister) at 118. The score seem low because of reduction method we sometimes use. When we are out of the 50/100 tiles we reduce 50 points for every player. End score could have been 95, 66 and 18 for example.
aaah, I was taking that as a gold bar - plus your comment that you scored nothing for the city. Must be the black follower was a Big Follower and so he trumped you?
I have the wagon in the city with the builder. Up until now I always figured it counts as a follower even when not scoring.Reading the rules I have from Big Box 3 it confirms your post. It does not count as a thief/follower up until scoring and thus, as the builder only can be in play with a thief/follower we have played erroneously.Nice catch!
The RGG edition changes "figure" to "no other wagon or follower." This avoids confusion about the term "follower" but adds a distinction between "follower" and "wagon" WHICH IS NOT VALID.
The mayor and wagon ARE FOLLOWERS, subject to the usual rules of deployment and affecting the majority.
So you was doing right by placing builder in a city where the only follower was the wagon.
