- The Grinch: Being sooooooo evil is really rewarding!!!
- The Grinch: You see? My wrinkles get greener than ever with the thrill!

So to be clear, we should assume that this road was completed this round and score accordingly?

oldbonz · « **Reply #39 on:** December 06, 2024, 01:45:04 AM »

- Chanchito: Yes! Please, do as if it was completed this turn.
- Chanchito: This may happen in any game...
- Chanchita: Those cute meeples left behind also deserve all our love too.
- Chanchito: Hi, Chanchita!
- Chanchito: So good you stopped by!
- Chanchita: Ahhh! Thank yoooooou!
- Chanchita: Are you enjoying the quiz?
- Chanchito: Ah, yes! Very much!
- Chanchito: A bit tricky at times so far, but I'm having lots of fun!
- Chanchita: I see... Ha ha ha!... That little naughty red meeple is driving the participants crazy...

Meepledrone · « **Reply #41 on:** December 06, 2024, 02:10:37 AM »

- Meepledrina: That was a nasty question, right?
- The Grinch: Our participants deserve the best of the best!
- Gingerbread Man: I agree, but sometimes it may be too much.
- The Grinch: Too much? Too much? Let me tell you...
- Meepledrina: Don't bother! You are always pushing the envelope!
- Meepledrina: They all envy and hate you for that...

- Meepledrina: No news from...?
- Gingerbread Man: Not a peep...
- Meepledrina: OK. I will check those stacks of fan expansion tiles over there...
- Gingerbread Man: Bye!
- Gingerbread Man: OK. Where were we? Ah, yes!... something more relaxing for a change, ok?

Question #6: The Gingerbread Man places this tile on Red's behalf. The city is scored first. How many total points will have each player after this turn? (1 point)

Notes:
* This question only uses normal meeples. No large meeples were used.
* This is a mid-game scenario. The game goes on for a few more turns.
