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 ended up on a dark space of the scoreboard, you may draw a Message tileif 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.
When you see File:ReferenceFigure Robber.png+, the robber must take points unless there are multiple counting figures on the robber's space at that time. If several are scoring points during the round of scoring, you may choose which counting figures to take the first points from.
