As such, the score of one player will be reduced on the scoreboard, and the score of another increased. If the player who selected the tile is the only one who made a bid, then the points should be subtracted from his or her score, but not awarded to anyone else. Players may bid more than they have and move their markers behind 0 on the scoring board. In this case they can place the marker on its side to show it is negative. <ref> | As such, the score of one player will be reduced on the scoreboard, and the score of another increased.

'''Variation:''' As many tiles should be uncovered as there are players. Beginning with the next player, in turn each player selects one of the tiles and places it as in a normal turn. This continues until all the uncovered tiles have been allocated, and then the game continues as normal. <ref> | '''Variation:''' As many tiles should be uncovered as there are players.

An additional bullet point rule added to Big Box 3 stated “A player can place the fairy in a castle. If it is there during the castle scoring, it scores 3 points for the player.” However, according to official clarifications, this rule is incorrect. The fairy cannot be placed in a castle, as it should only be placed on features on a discrete tile. | An additional bullet point rule added to [[Variants#Big Box 3|Big Box 3]] stated “A player can place the fairy in a castle.

The [[Rio Grande Games|'''RGG''']] Big Box 3 stated that the “wagon effect” could be used to build a castle, suggesting that the special wagon move could allow a castle to be built outside of the normal turn order or could violate the requirement that the feature receiving the wagon be incomplete, but this is not the case.

When '''scoring farmers''' at game end, a castle on a farm scores 4 points (instead of the 3 usual for a city), or 5 points with a pig ( [[Traders and Builders (1st edition)|Traders and Builders]]) or barn ([[Abbey and the Mayor (1st edition)|Abbey and the Mayor]]). <ref> | When '''scoring farmers''' at game end, a castle on a farm scores 4 points (instead of the 3 usual for a city), or 5 points with a pig ( [[Traders and Builders (1st edition)|Traders and Builders]]) or barn ([[Abbey and the Mayor (1st edition)|Abbey and the Mayor]]). <ref> | ||

The [[Rio Grande Games|'''RGG''']] Big Box 3 scoring guide at the end of the rules claims that farms only score points for '''completed''' castles, but this is presumably a misprint, as there is no indication in the rules that this is actually true (especially as followers from incomplete castles are removed, so there would be no way to tell which castles were incomplete and which were complete when scoring farms). | The [[Rio Grande Games|'''RGG''']] [[Variants#Big Box 3|Big Box 3]] scoring guide at the end of the rules claims that farms only score points for '''completed''' castles, but this is presumably a misprint, as there is no indication in the rules that this is actually true (especially as followers from incomplete castles are removed, so there would be no way to tell which castles were incomplete and which were complete when scoring farms). | ||
