Allograft:
Are expansions included, or just base game? If Bridges is included, I would castle the small city in the southwest corner, completing the cloister for black and providing the same 9 points for yellow. - :pink-meeple:
kothmann:
Good question, edited to say "base game only standard rules."
But I don't think you can score a castle on the same turn that you create it--see the first sentence here:

--- Quote ---you score points when a neighboring feature is completed in a later turn

Wow. Mind blown. - :pink-meeple:
Allograft:
Then given the revised rules, as much as I like B, I think I would go with A at an early point in the game. - :pink-meeple:
