Clarification of rules (Ghosts, Castles & Cemeteries) - with HiG - 27 09 2022

Correct!

The dragon moves following the grid of spaces. Nut when it lands on a space it will eat all the meeples on the tile, no matter if it is one square tile, 1 or 2 triangular tiles, one double-sized tile or a 2x2 tile.

After checking the Geman rules, I noticed this:

German rules:

Limit the mist: You place a tile such that at least 1 misty side is placed next to a mist-free side. In this case, you must then add 1 ghost to one of your own meeples on the game board.

English rules:

Limit the mist: You place a tile with mist on it such that at least 1 misty side is placed next to an existing, mist-free tile. In this case, you must then add 1 ghost to one of your own meeples on the game board.

This means that the English rules are leaving out the case where you place a non-misty tile next to a misty edge and limit the mist. Too bad.

All in all, limiting the edge is both placing a misty edge next to a non-misty edge and vice versa,  placing a non-misty edge next to a misty edge.

This means that:
1. ZMG added an extra constraint that is incorrect.
2. You must add a ghost to one of your meeples if you place the mist-free CFRR tile on top next to the starting tile:



I'm correcting WICA right away.

Thank you guys for spotting this issue in the English rules. And thanks to ZMG for giving us another opportunity to peruse the rules.

If you limit the mist by placing a non-misty tile, do you have to place a ghost?

The rules clearly state that only misty tiles cause the placement of ghosts.

I had good reasons to ask. The ZMG rules clearly stated this. The HiG rules stated something else.

This feels like a déjà vu... the ZMG rules for Big Box 6 & 7 and their mistakes all over again...
