Hi,
I play Carcassonne for a while now, but I still have a question regarding how to count the points for a road. And I can't find the answer in the game's notice.
I know that:
- A completed road gives 1 point per tile
- A completed road with one or more inns gives 2 points per tile
OK.
But, how to count the number of tiles of a road which has several branches?
- Do we have to count the number of tiles on the main road/longest path?
- Or do we have to count the total number of tiles of the longest path + the secondary paths?
I took a picture of the situation I'm talking about (please see below):
- On the red main path, the longest one, there are 8 tiles
- On the two blue paths, secondary ones, there are 5 tiles
If it is only the longest path that matter on a completed road, the red one gives (8x2)=16 points. But if it is all the paths that matter, so the red + the blue ones give [(8+3+2)x2]=26 points.
Thanks you in advance for your help.
