Introduction

• The word “you" throughout this section refers to the active player.
• If playing with the Messages (Dispatches) expansion, the player scoring points chooses which scoring figure to move each time points are awarded. After scoring is completed for a given round of scoring, if one of your scoring figures moved and ended up on a dark space of the scoreboard, you may draw a Message tile if there were no other players' scoring figures on it (ZMG rules only). Only one Message tile can be drawn per round or scoring (even if both scoring figures ended up on dark spaces the same round). Note that resolving a Message tile could also trigger the drawing of another Message tile.

  Dispatch (Messages)

  Dispatch: One of your scoring figures moved and ended up on a dark space of the scoreboard → 2 points OR depends on tile: Score smallest road After-the-game points from road with at least one of player's followersmeeples and the lowest scoring No majority is applied for the feature scored Score smallest city After-the-game points from city with at least one of player's followersmeeples and the lowest scoring No majority is applied for the feature scored Score smallest cloistermonastery After-the-game points from cloistermonastery with at least one of player's followersmeeples and the lowest scoring No majority is applied for the feature scored 2 points for each pennantcoat of arms 2 points / pennantcoat of arms in cities with at least one of player's followersmeeples 2 points for each knight 2 points / knight in cities with at least one of player's followersmeeplesmeeples 2 points for each farmer 2 points / player's farmers One tile 0 points from dispatch itself (there may be points from playing the tile) Score a followermeeple and remove it from the board After-the-game points from chosen feature with at least one of player's followersmeeples Majority is applied for feature scored

• If playing with the Robbers expansion, robbers must take points from the first allowable event.
  • When you see , robbers must take points if possible (ignoring rogue points).
  • When you see +, robbers must take points but they may need to choose which countingscoring figure to take the first points from; this may happen when a robber is on the same space as multiple countingscoring figures that will be scoring points during Step 3B.

    Robber
