Let's Pioneer: Placement of Land Tiles

The tiles depict the following four types of areas, roads and fences: grassland, waterfront, village, and field.

Printed examples: grassland; waterfront; village (with fence); field (wheat, cotton, vegetables); road; fence.

Placement of Land Tiles

The player selects one of the candidate tiles and connects it to the tiles in the field according to the following rules to proceed with the development. To go.

• Place it so that at least one side is connected to the tiles in the field.
• Only the same area can be connected.
• If there is a road, connect it so that the road continues.

★ If you can't connect all of the candidate tiles to the tiles in the field, mix them face down with the deck, put out 3 candidate tiles again, and put the rest face down into the deck.

Fields and fences. Fields: There are 3 types (wheat, cotton, vegetables), and any type can be connected. Fences: Unlike roads, they don't need to be connected in a continuous fashion. You can put it anywhere in the grassland.

Examples.

• You need to connect at least one side, so you can shift the tiles (blue). Cannot be placed apart (red).
• Fence: Unlike roads, there is no need to connect them in a continuous manner. Can be placed anywhere in grassland.
• Field: 3 types (wheat, cotton, vegetables), and any kind can be combined.
• I can't connect because the area is different.
• It's the same area, but the road is cut off.
• Roads are connected in the same area.

• Completed village
• Completed road
• Completed meadow

Completed road: A road is completed when both ends lead to villages.

In the case of the right figure, the red frame land if there is a tile. The number is 4 (red numbers). However, if it is not there, it will be the sea, so the number of land will be 5 (blue numbers). All parts without tiles are sea.
