Tower tile completes a city...
« on: August 23, 2015, 01:51:54 PM »
Sorry for my sudden overload of Tower related questions, not played it for ages and lots of things got thrown up tonight.

So.... Two players both occupying a city, which actually was huge and had a cathedral in it. Player A places the completion tile which has a tower on it. It sits next to the tile with Player B's meeple.... which is the correct order:
1) Player A places a tower and takes off Player B's meeple as his prisoner, thus scoring the city to himself - 60 points!
2) The city is cored first, thus dividing the points between both PlayerA and Player B, 230 points each. Player A can then place a tower piece should he still wish.
???

We decided it should be option 2. Which is the correct way though?

Hello Wishmaster!

According to the Complete Annotated Rules (CAR) there are several steps that should be in that order.

first comes
Step 4a: Move the wood (phase 1) point 'e'

here you place the towerpiece AND capture a opponent follower.

Then at
Step 6: Identify Completed Features point 'a and b'

the tile is scored,

So your correct order should have been 1!

Im curious though, how do you manage to get 60 points instead of 230 if you stayed together?

I think this is a typo, Lord_Wishmaster probably meant 30 points, which is also wrong: if two or more players share a feature, they both score full amount of points.

Yes, it was a typo.... er, obviously!
And also yes to MrNumbers. Not sure how we dropped into the half points thing. Is there another Carcassonne game that does award half points, where did we get that from?

I don't know such games. The only thing that comes in mind is uncompleted cities (or whatever they called in spin-offs).

What if a player draws a tower tile but they don't have any more tower floors?
