|
|
Has this happened to anyone else? The other player started the Final Round, and I had a coral of size 5 in a non-advanced game and it didn't let me choose to eat it for my 1 coral in points. At least I would have still lost the game, but I would have been much closer in points. I don't like being cheated out of my last move!!!

Once someone starts the Final round in a non-advanced game, the first 5 tiles are not counted in a coral for scoring (prior to the Final round the first 4 tiles are not counted). So, a group of 5 tiles would count as 0 points. If you had 6 tiles, you would have been able to score one of the tiles. |

Why would the first 5 not count when they would count any other time? I don't remember this from the rules... |

Because Richard Breese is a wacky guy.
Quote: | If the game ends as a result of events 1 or 2 (which will nearly always be the case) all of the players except the player ending the game, may have one additional turn each. During this additional turn the only action a player can perform is to consume one existing shrimp-protected coral with their parrotfish. However on this occasion players must place five polyp tiles into the polyp tile bag instead of the usual four. |
