- 9 Medina tiles
Changes in Setup
The 9 Medina tiles are shuffled with the rest of the building tiles and then stacked into the tile dispenser tower.
Changes in Game Play
When a Medina tile is drawn, it is placed on the building market like any other building tile.
If purchased, the same rules for building apply as for any other building tile, including placing it in the reserve.
Changes in Scoring
The Medinas are scored after all other building types have been scored. In the first scoring round, the player who has built the fewest Medinas scores negative points. In the second scoring, two players receive negative points, and in the third (final) scoring, three players do.
| 1st Scoring | 2nd Scoring | 3rd Scoring | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Player with the fewest Medinas | -3 | -6 | -9 |
| Player with the second fewest Medinas | 0 | -3 | -6 |
| Player with the third fewest Medinas | 0 | 0 | -3 |
If two or more players have built the same number of Medinas, the Medina who has the higher purchase price wins the tie. The player with the cheaper Medina gains the higher negative points.
Example (3rd Scoring): Player A, Player B and Player C have built Medinas as follows: Player C has built the fewest Medinas and loses 9 points. Players A and B have both built 3 Medinas. Since Player A has the Medina with the highest price (8), she loses 3 points, and Player B loses 6 points.
Special Case: No Medinas Built
In every scoring round, each player who has not built a Medina loses additional points:
| 1st Scoring | 2nd Scoring | 3rd Scoring |
|---|---|---|
| 1 negative point | 2 negative points | 3 negative points |
Notes:
- 1st Scoring: All players without any Medinas split the 3 negative points (rounded up).
- 2nd Scoring: If two or more players have not built a Medina, the negative points for the first and second place are added together and then split between those players (rounded up).
- 3rd Scoring: If two players have not built a Medina, they split the negative points for the first and second place (rounded up); the negative points for third place stay the same. If three or more players have not built any Medina, 18 minus points are split (rounded up) between those players.
Example (3rd Scoring, built Medinas): Player A and Player B have built no Medinas. Player C has built two Medinas and Player D has built three. The 3rd Scoring results are: Player A -11, Player B -11, Player C -3, Player D 0.
