Title: Bridges, Castles, and Bazaars Clarifications
Post by: Gwommy on June 04, 2010, 11:38:16 pm
We had a few questions come up while playing this.  Anyone have an answer or at least an opinion for these questions?

1.  Someone drew a bazaar.  After we auctioned off the tiles, then we placed them.  I went first and added my tile to my city which had my builder in it.  Do I immediately get another turn for my builder, or would that be skipped similar to how bazaars can't be chained?

2. On one of my turns, I placed a knight in a city like normal, later I drew another city piece and decided to use my castle and use the follower that was in that city.  Since I didn't add a follower for this turn, may I claim the farm with a follower if it's unoccupied?

After playing with the expansion, here's my thoughts...

#1. This definitely came up when I was playing. My ruling was that yes, you should immediately get another turn for your builder. Though I imagine the consensus will be to disregard it, I felt that taking the builder into consideration led to auctions that required a little more thought and strategy. We immediately drew an additional tile and completely finished the players turn before proceeding with the next auction. I enjoyed this.

#2. I see no reason why you shouldn't be able to add a follower to the farm, seeing as you had yet to place a follower for the turn. Building a castle seems unrelated to placing a follower... similar to how a bridge can be built in addition to placing a follower on the same turn.

Those are just my two cents on the matter! And for the record, after my initial plays, I am REALLY enjoying the Bridges, Castles, and Bazaars expansion.
