Official Rules / Re: Two castles close to each other: what happens in this case?
« on: November 23, 2022, 07:30:09 PM »
I have the rules in English and Germany and don't literally read that 2 Castles next to each other HAVE to score the same points (they mention it more as example where they probably assume there is only 1 other completed feature triggering one Castle scoring that triggers the next Castle).
They write that a castle scoring is considered as a scoring feature and as the Castle owner may decide which feature scores his Castle, they could in my opinion have different scoring values.
For the example above from Bumsakalaka,
- The Yellow Castle can choose for 2 or 3 points or the Castle value of the Blue Castle (which would score 3 points as the Yellow Castle didn't decide yet)
- The Blue Castle can choose for 3 points or the castle value chosen by the Blue Castle (so probably 3, but maybe 2)
So for me the question is more, in what order are the Castles scored, but I think when all involved players (hopefully only 2 castles at the same time) make there choice the pther ones can change there mind acordingly to there choice.. maybe do a round (or more when a players Castle is onlty triggered by another player Castle still left from him) starting from the activate player to decide there Castle scoring values.
Anyway, I agree this might be a complicated situation
Practically I think mostly they would agree on the same value
