Adding the pig to a farm with a barn
« on: April 13, 2015, 02:20:16 PM »
Hi!

When I add a tile to connect one field (with a farmer) to another field (with a barn), is it OK to place a pig on the connecting tile? I practice, this ended up with adding the pig every time when doing this maneuver, since the pig was directly returned.

Since you can place a pig on any field with at least one of your farmer, regardless, what else is on the field, and the "move wood phase" is before scoring, this is logic according to the rules. That's why a pig is very powerful in combination with barns.

Good question! As others have stated, this is allowed. It also happens to be one of my favourite things to attempt when combining Traders & Builders with Abbey & Mayor...  :)

When I first saw this question I couldn't believe this was the answer, but thinking about it, you're totally right. Holy cow (pig?), that's a really, really powerful combo!
