Title: Tiles query: Post by: Jambo on July 05, 2008, 03:26:42 am Hi all,
I have a question on this tile, and other tiles which have small bushes on roads. Do the bushes stop the roads, or in the case of this tile, does the road continue in three directions? Cheers Title: Re: Tiles query: Post by: mjharper on July 05, 2008, 03:42:22 am The bushes end the road(s). All junctions and crossings are ends of roads, and the graphics have occasionally be updated to make that clearer:

Can one score a single point on that updated tile for placing a meeple on either of the extremely short road segments which lead to the cities?

The point of the tile was simply to create a crossing, although with the original people weren't quite clear enough about that. The second version is meant to bring the long segments to a end in the middle, whilst obscuring the short 'roads' almost completely. I'm sure there was and FAQ about this somewhere… ??? |
