Ce jeu est terminé. Le Grinch vous demande de répondre aux questions suivantes :
a) Combien y a-t-il de prés dans ce scénario ? (1 point)
b) Combien de points chaque joueur marque-t-il ? (1 point)

Notes :
* Aucun grand meeple n'est inclus dans ce scénario.
* Nous appliquons les règles les plus récentes pour la merveille de l'Alhambra. Considérons un jeu avec plus de 120 tuiles

Any chance to see a question that does not make use of any normal land tiles at all?

Meepledrone · « **Reply #126 on:** December 17, 2024, 03:46:49 PM »

- Santa Claus: What do you mean?
- Santa Claus: A question not using tiles from the base game?
- Gingerbread Man: A question with only expansion tiles?
- Fir Tree: (shaking) I'm Grooot?
- Snowman: I couldn't say it better!
- Fir Tree: (a howl hoots) ;-p
