Current Decision (photo below):
Yellow has now drawn the FFCC tile.
Where should they place the tile?
Should they place a meeple and if so, where?


Option A (photo below)
[-1; 1], FFCC, meeple as knight in the west city segment.  Yellow scores 4 points.


Option B (photo below)
[ 3; 0], CCFF, meeple as farmer.


Option C (photo below)
[ 0; 2], CCFF, meeple as knight in east city segment.


Option D (photo below)
[ 0; 2], CFFC, meeple as knight in north city segment.


Option E (none of the above)
Please describe a better play in your reply.

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

Allograft:
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:
