Official Rules / Re: Shared points for a city

Hi @Gwendoline !!!

Welcome to the forum!!!

I'm trying to visualize the situation you are describing, but if you could attach an image, it would be great to avoid any misintepretation.

Thank you in advance...

In any case, I guess the tile you would have needed in order to prevent the other player from joining you city would be something like this, which is available in Expansion 1 - Inns & Cathedrals:

Question #17: Red places this tile. The player has the following questions:
1) How many points does each player score?
2) Who gets the teacher from the school?

Answer #17: Red completes one road ending at the school. This road contains two tunnels (one marked with red tunnel tokens and another one with yellow tunnel tokens). This road has 7 tiles (Note: the tile on the center right with three tunnels tokens is only counted once). Check the following image where the roads occupied by Red and Yellow:



You can also see in the image above that the road occupied by Yellow is not completed. The grey tunnel tokens connect two road segments but the one on the center right is open ended. So Yellow scores no points.

Therefore Red scores 7 points (7 tiles x 1 point per tile). Since Red completes the road connected to the school, Red will receive the teacher, but the teacher bonus is not applicable until the next feature is scored.

Bottomline:
1) Red scores 7 points.
   Yellow scores no points
2) Red receives the teacher.

I have been playing with The Ciy Gates for the last few months and didn't have that impression in any of our games... I will keep an eye to see any hints of it...

In our case, we played also with the City of Carcassone tableaux as the starting tile(s) and we got a huge field caused by a monastery-with-road tile ending a road coming out of Carcassonne at the very beginning of the game. The field around the monastery connected 2/3 of the fields surrounding Carcassonne. The field war was on of course from this point on (tile #3 of the game)...

Besides the scoring of small cities, there were two versions of filed scoring before the current one as well... Here you can find some information abou all this in French:

That original exception would motivate players to avoid too many 2-tile cities and motivate them to build larger cities...

Question #16: Red places this tile. The player has the following questions:
1) How many points does each player score?
2) Does any meeple go to the free bathhouse?

Answer #16: Red completes two cities with City Gates tiles. Note that the city gates facing each other on the tiles below separate the cities. Therefore, one city is occupied by Red and the other is shared by Red and Yellow.

The city occupied by Red alone has 5 tiles and 2 coats of arms, so it is worth 14 points ( (5 tiles + 2 coats of arms) x 2 points = 7 x 2 points). Additionally, the meeple in this city is scoring alone, so it can go to a free bathhouse after scoring.

The city shared by Red and Yellow has 5 tiles, 1 coat of arms and a 3-point bathhouse. This city is then worth 15 points (12 points for the city itself + 3 points for the bathhouse):
* 12 points for the city itself ( (5 tiles + 1 coat of arms) x 2 points = 6 x 2 points)
* 3 points for the bathhouse
Since there are two meeples in this city, none of them is a candidate to go to a free bathhouse for this scoring.

So the answers to the questions are as follows:
1) Bottomline:
   * Red scores 29 points (14 + 15 points)
   * Yellow scores 15 points
2) Red's meeple scoring alone will go to the free bathhouse
