Hello, I just got the Traders & Builders expansion, and according the (danish / swedish / norwegian) rules following this set, farm scoring with a pig says 5 points per city, instead of 4 points  ..and when I checked out RGG on Traders and Builders rules PDF, same numbers  We have always played with 3 points scoring for a farm, per city. ..is it a new 4th edition scoring rule? Cheers, Harry |

No, this is the old 1st edition scoring. The presence of the pig in a field gives a total of 4 points per completed city. The pig does not count towards the majority of the farm. The RGG site is up to date on some rule editions, but still out of date on others. It makes things quite confusing. |

However, if you have the pig (meeple) on the same farm with a pig farm (tile), then cities are worth 5 points. Castles are then worth 6 and besieged cities worth 10 (double). A very nice way to end the game!  |

I like to play the barn on my own farm when at all possible and as late in the game as I dare.

Doesn't change the fact that you are set for life. If you barn your farm that has all the features above (and a large number of cities adjacent) then you not only score a nice bonus but you score a double nice bonus.

Just bear in mind that you are not able to have a Pig 'attached' to a Barn. Also, I don't believe that the 'pig herd' tile scores extra when 'attached' to a players Barn. Pigs and the 'pig herd' tile only score extra when used with Farmers. |

Pigs and the 'pig herd' tile only score extra when used with Farmers. Bah! Technicalities. ...a happy medium for me. I don't count the pig, but I do count the pig herd tile simply because it's fixed on the tile and the pig meeple is not fixed. |

I never have counted the pig herd tile when scoring at all. We just ignore it. |

I think they were with the River II rules since that is the only tile where a legal Pig Herd exists. No rules were printed with Games Quarterly 11 anyway.
