1) How many points does the player score during this turn if playing with the Variant Rules for Little Buildings?
2) Does the Witch stay on the road after scoring?
3) Can the Dragon eat the Witch if landing on the same tile?
Answer #18: Red completes a road with the Witch and two little buildings. Since we are applying the Variant Rules for Little Buildings, the shed is worth 1 point and the tower is worth 3 points. As indicated in the clarifications for Little Buildings, their points are applied after the Witch.
The road is initially worth 5 points (5 tiles x 1 point per tile), but the Witch halves these points (rounding them up), so the road is worth 3 points (5 points / 2 rounded up). The Little Building points will be applied on top of these points. So the road is worth 7 points (3 points for the feature itself + 1 point for the shed + 3 points for the tower).
Additionally, the Fairy assigned to the Red Meeple, so it will provide the following extra points:
* 1 bonus point at the beginning of Red's turn.
* 3 bonus points for its presence in the completed road.
Bottomline:
The answer to the questions is as follows:
1) Red scores 11 points (1 point for the Fairy at the beginning of the player's turn + 7 points for the road + 3 points for the Fairy scoring bonus).
2) No, the Witch will be removed from the road and placed aside until a player placing a new tile with a magic symbol decides to place the Witch on an uncompleted road or city again.
3) Yes, the Dragon will eat the Witch if placed on the same tile.
