this may be an pig herd but has been dismissed by John Sweeny, so this only a flat field(ffff) tile.

LCF = 57 + 3!!!

13 man on the field IS a penalty!!!!!(10 yards, automatic 1st down)

A match can never be ended on a defensive penalty!!!

Sorry,  who is John Sweeny ... and the meaning of "dismissed" is dismissed all the pig herds or only the GQ 11's pig herd

and what is the total number of pig herds??

Officially it is not a pig herd.

Still, I would wager a guess and say that for most people it is.

The FAQ is here:

Q (John Sweeney): As far as the tile with pigs on it is concerned—do you have an official ruling? I understand from Hans im Glück that these are your tiles rather than theirs, so I guess you are the final arbiter!

A (Jay Tummelson): Yes, I am—and this is just a field—no special points for the pigs and cows in it—sorry.


So, the story is this: when GQ11 came out everybody just assumed that the tile that looks like a pig-herd tile was actually a pig-herd tile. But John Sweeney, who runs another FAQ site, wrote to the Jay Tummelson of RGG—who produced that expansion—and asked for confirmation. He denied that it was. The expansion was supposed to have no new rules, and the so-called pig-herd tile is really just a pretty picture.

Since that's an official ruling, I have to add it to the CAR. Still, as Tobias said, I'd guess that most people uses it as a pig-herd tile, at least when you have the other one in play as well.
