Hi Chris,

I suspect you may be forgetting some scoring category such as completing areas, bonuses for being the first to complete one type of tile, selling goods, or something.

There are lots of scoring opportunities so you may was to take a glance through the rules again. Those would be pretty low scores.

Bingo! Yes, I was literally just grooming the rules to find them, yeah, was not doing any of points for completing single areas, just the total bonuses! And, TBH, didn't feel like we were suffering that much because of it. really shifts the focus then, as that's have probably doubled our scores if that was the goal. And my excuse is that it was late and we were damp from the rain that damaged the box too.

Well we need a third play before she'll let me buy a new game, so we'll get there ASAP!

It will really change your focus now that you know about scoring each and every completed single cluster. You will be able to gain a lot of points from the completion bonuses.

The boards with the small areas can get you plenty of extra points if you complete them early.

Oh, I just completed a single Castle area in the first era, 1 + 10 points, and that allows me to complete this other single Mine area, 1 + 10 points, and then I use my other die to complete yet another single tile area, 1 + 10 points. So BAM! I just got 33 points with one move.

:devil:
