There should be a yellow meeple on the unfinished city, right?

I knew something was off with that city, but just couldn't place it. (No pun intended.)

Going back a few images, you are absolutely right! There should be a yellow token (I mean follower / meeple) on it.

And the tile next to the 8 point city with the green meeple on it should be a CRRR tile

Since we are officially working together for our shared city, I started to close it, claiming another city.
Hope, now everything is right on our board

Good that I was not drinking anything when I saw Dan's post with the winter tiles. Would have gone through my nose and all over the computer. Best laugh I've had in a while.

Glad you enjoyed it Scott! Finding all the right tiles and putting them in place took me about 20 minutes so I'm probably going to be sticking to the winter edition tiles from now on...

Also, I'm impressed that you're still reading all new posts on your increasingly frequent ( ) visits back to the site, even though we're averaging 60 - 70 posts a day now!

Anyway, hope you enjoyed your holiday SRBO, but now it's time to get serious and make your move!  <--- these are hands placing a green meeple

and I thought it was only rickety old guys like me who needed 2 hands to place a meeple

To be fair, that meeple is bigger than a hand so it probably weighs a fair bit more than your average meeple!

[SRBO]

haha oops, almost forgot. but im going to set the playfield up now;)

[SRBO]

I was waiting to make a move like this! not the one i prefer but i hope this will also do the job!
I drew a CRFR-tile. and sadly i didnt put it down for my own benefit.
now i made a gap and ive looked into the pile if the gap is still available.
Yes,
1 tile.

so.. dear yellow and black, i hope you draw this tile:)

Cheers

Wow. That was harsh! I was leaving this open as I had no problem with Yellow taking the road for himself. It doesn't change how many points he'd win for the road, it just means that Rosco is now guaranteed a share of the points as well so this keeps him in the game...

so.. dear yellow and black, i hope you draw this tile:)

You forgot to add red and blue to this list since this has also blocked our city! Let's go

That is his whole point. He doesn't want red or blue to draw the right tile because he doesn't want your city to get completed. He wants yellow or black (or himself) to draw the CRRR tile instead.

I think if I was Yellow or Rosco and I drew the remaining crrr tile I would still place it there for the sake of completing the road and getting a meeple back (or the potential of 2 in Yellow's case)...

But if keeping the city incomplete is the point of this move (rather than to prevent road sharing stealing which is what I saw) then this is certainly a good one. Personally I would have rotated the tile through 180 degrees and placed it 3 places to the right as there are only 2 3-sided city tiles left and there would still be plenty of open sides.

ow damn, i forgot that road lol, we will see..

i was hoping for one way or another to create a 4 side city gap. but sadly the city got connected. haha

[danisthirty]

Well it's certainly a big move in any case. Kudos to you for making it! 

[Rosco]

Here is my move - I hope it pays off. I usually play 2 player games so this many players is pretty crazy for me.
