Title: Another Princess Question Post by: Bubbasco on August 21, 2009, 01:58:25 am Hi, I looked through the old posts, and couldn't decide if this was already answered or not. Perhaps it should be obvious from the instructions, but I can't decide what is correct....
If you place the princess tile in such a way that it completes a city with one knight occupying that city (an opponents knight), is the knight removed before the city is scored? In that case the city would not give any points if the knight was removed. Or is the city immediately completed and scored, therefore awarding points to the player with the occupying knight? Did that make any sense? Title: Re: Another Princess Question Post by: meepleater on August 21, 2009, 02:22:07 am It is removed berfore the city is scored, I believe...
1. Buy back prisoner, gain 1 point for fairy 2. Draw and place a tile 3. Place a follower, special figure, tower block, fairy, remove a follower 4. Place follower into Carcassonne, move dragon 5. Score 6. Receive scored followers Repeat 2-6 if builder triggers extra turn... Title: Re: Another Princess Question Post by: Joff on August 21, 2009, 10:16:54 am That is the idea of the Princess. She is able to seduce an occupying Knight away from the city, making the Knight unable to score. Thus, the Knight is removed before scoring takes place.

Perhaps, but I just re-watched Shrek 2 so I find it amusing too. You can always think of the Princess as a damsel-in-distress, rather than a seductress. Either way, the Knight is distracted away from his duties. Stupid damsels...always getting all in distress...and why don't the "protective" dragons eat the damsels?! I mean, do they really get filled up on the sheer number of Knights coming to rescue the damsel?

No it is not. :a4 |
