Official Rules / Re: Watchtowers questions
« on: April 22, 2017, 04:25:50 AM »
we've played it several times, and i also think its rubbish. Besides the wrong number in the english rules (says 6 instead of 12).
Its very unclear, as to what happens if you place it to extend or finish a project you're already on, do you get the watchtower bonus or not?
So we kinda decided that:
When you play the tile, you have to claim something on it (not the tower itself, as it states in the rules you can't i think)
When you finish that project you count the points and get the bonus
It can't be used again (otherwise you have to keep track of what has been used and what not)
No end of game bonus
The english rules state you can put a meeple on the tile as a farmer, but they don't trigger scoring, and meeples are not on the tower itself, but on the city,road or farm. And it says that if a completed road or city has a meeple on a watchtower (i asume watchtowertile) you trigger watchtower bonus, so thats why we agreed on that you have to claim something on the tile when you lay it, and that is the only thing that can get the bonus. If you use it to complete a city/road you're already in, you can't get the bonus, because you don't have a meeple on the watchtower tile (cus you cant when your already in the city/road).
Its not the best of expansions, and just gives more questions.
