Flipping special buildings

Post by Potrick »

I thought special buildings could be flipped. But I couldn't figure out how...

Because you can't.
Again, 60 000 of games played on BGA. If you think something that obvious is broken, then probably you misread the rules.

Kiosque and Pavilion Tiles : are x1 size - no question for flipping
Petting Zoo, Reptile House and Large Bird Aviary : are Special Enclosures. They have at least 1 axis of symmetry - no question for flipping
Unique Buildings, which is what you refer to, come with sponsors. From the rules and IRL game you can see they have a different back. It's a pity, as they could have been designed so they could be flipped, but that's not the case. We need to live with that. Only a few of them are concerned though, without any axis of symmetry.

It happens within the physical game as well one chose to pick a sponsor without the possibility to place that unique building. One should be more careful when they pick these cards.

Honestly I suspect the fact that you can't flip special buildings is possibly by design as it adds extra challenge to using them properly.
