Miscalculation on Terrain cards?

[VickyBo]

I have the impression that some terrain cards (2 points per colour) are not quite calculated in the right way.

I had red tiles. In total, there were 21 solid red cards, so normally I have to gain 42 point, but only got 20.
Another player had a similar card, but for yellow abilities, and there were 23 cards, but only got 18 points.

Big difference if you play on those cards in your own area of course...

Do you have a game number?

The table number was 476312893

That ain't right, you're definitely mistaken. But I can see why because the wording is confusing and unintuitive. The terrains you're thinking of (Savannah etc.) calculate points by looking at the player with the *most* of a given colour and then giving you 2 points per instance of that colour that they have. If you think about it for 9 soil they would be pretty crazy overpowered if they worked any other way.

The maximum number of red cards you could possibly have on any one tableux + board is 18, so the theoretical max points you could get off of one of those terrains is 36 - which is extremely unlikely. Usually you'll pick up about 16-18 from them in an average game.
