Question #8:
and share this road network. How many points do they score with the advanced labyrinth rules?
Answer #8:Original answer - outdated by clarifications from 1/2021 (obsolete answer) and
share the majority in the road network but the
on the bridge breaks that tie in
's favor thanks to the hill under the bridge. So
has the majority in the end.
The road network contains 9 tiles:
* 5 square tiles
* 4 Halflings
Note the bridge placed across two Halfling tiles will have to be treated as two road segments matching the tiles underneath. When scoring a road, you consider the number of tiles making up the road. In this case, there would be a conflict between the two Halfling tiles (two tiles) and the bridge across (usually one tile), but the number of tiles involved dictates the outcome.
As a consequence,
scores 17 points for the road network:
* 9 points for the road (9 tiles x 1 point / tile)
* 8 additional points for the meeples on the road network including the labyrinth (4 meeples x 2 points / meeple) as per the advanced Labyrinth rules.
So the bottomline is:
*
scores no points
*
scores 17 points for the road network with advanced labyrinth rules
Revised answer - aligned with clarifications from 1/2021 (current valid answer) and
share the majority in the road network but the
on the bridge breaks that tie in
's favor thanks to the hill under the bridge. So
has the majority in the end.
The road network contains 7 tiles (or 7 occupied spaces):
* 5 square tiles
* 4 Halflings, counted as 2 tiles (each occupied by two Halflings).
Note the bridge placed across two Halfling tiles will have to be treated as one road segment (the same as the two Halflings underneath). When scoring a road, you consider the number of tiles (or occupied square spaces).
As a consequence,
scores 15 points for the road network:
* 7 points for the road (7 tiles x 1 point / tile)
* 8 additional points for the meeples on the road network including the labyrinth (4 meeples x 2 points / meeple) as per the advanced Labyrinth rules.
So the bottomline is:
*
scores no points
*
scores 15 points for the road network with advanced labyrinth rules
