Happy Sunday!!!

Here you are another question...

Question #09: Red receives this message. The player has the following questions:
a) Which monastery or monasteries can the player choose to apply the message?
b) How many points will the player score?

You can only choose one Monastery. You will score 7 points for the one in the center and your Meeple will remain on the Monastery.

Note the Message is "The Smallest Monastery".

a) debatable. because he MUST choose the lowest scoring one, we can argue it to be 1. But then the wording of the rules using choose is redundant, thus one could argue the correct answer to be 2.
B)

5 points. If it now was the end of the game, the monasteries would be incomplete, thus no vineyard bonus.

It is so kind of you @Meepledrone to give us a new quizz every Sunday! Thank you for entertaining the community this way +1 merit

It's just a pity that it is summertime and I therefore cannot participate

But as soon as I am back in autumn, I will catch up secretly and prepare for the Advent Quizz

Thanks @Challa007 !

Have fun until autumn! Should I then delay the answers until January 2023?

Good catch that the Mayor is there with zero coats of arms, so red’s score is zero!

Hope you all are enjoying today!!!

Here is one more question for you...

Meepledrone · « **Reply #73 on:** July 03, 2022, 02:44:57 AM »

Question #11: Yellow places this tile completing this city and two roads. The player has the following questions:
1) How many points does each player score?
2) Based on this scoring, is this placement a good decision for Yellow? (That is, is Yellow the player scoring the most points from this tile placement?)

EDIT: Clarified the scope of question #2. Not trying to get a full analysis of possible options and considerations a player may check for a placement like this in a real game.

I’ve never played with Watchtowers, so pardon me for taking a wild guess after reading what I believe the rules say:
Blue’s city meeple is on the watchtower tile and will get 8 points for the 4 meeples touching the Watchtower on the left side of the map.
Blue’s road meeple is on the second watchtower tile and will get 6 points for the 3 meeples touching the watchtower on the right side of the map.
Red and yellow do not have any meeples on the watchtowers.
Normal scoring will be 3 points for the Red road and 3 points for the Blue road.
Yellow controls the city with 7 tiles and one coat of arm for 16 points.
Total points will be 17 for Blue, 16 for Yellow, and 3 for Red.

This is not a great decision for Yellow, but Blue would have scored even more points if the CRFR tile, like the basic game start tile, was placed there. The other thing to consider is that blue would have gotten zero points for his watchtower meeples if the city was never completed. So, a lot of the good or bad would depend on how many tiles remain to be played in this game.

I’ll be following this thread to see if I followed the Rules properly, and now I have another expansion that I will have to buy! Thanks?
