Violet carpenter bee

Post by LKingdom »

Hello there I have a question. In the Alpine expansion when I put violet carpenter bee next to a pine tree (pinkish) it give no points. Is it supposed to be like that? Because if it counts as one more tree of it's kinds. All of my pines are supposed to give extra points for this. Here is a replay: https://boardgamearena.com/11/forestshu ... =480884142

Violet Carpenter Bee only counts as an extra tree of that type when determining sets such as Horse Chestnut (orange), Linden (yellow) and Beech (dark green), it does not duplicate the tree and any symbols on it. It does not count as another tree for Sycamore (red) or when determining number of trees for red deer or woodpecker. Stone Pine gives you one point per mountain symbol so the bee won't give any points for this as it doesn't have a mountain symbol.

It definitely counts for woodpecker tree scoring I have tested that.

And there is no red roe deer scoring in this game. There is yellow, light green, dark green, orange, and blue one. What ello are you?

I didn't mean a red Roe Deer, I meant Red Deer, the ones that score for number of trees.
I have checked the base game rules and I was incorrect about woodpecker. The bee would also count towards 10 trees for moss but no other base cards are listed. Given the base game does not list the bee as scoring for Sycamore (one point per tree) I don't understand why it would score for a tree that score one point per mountain.
Not sure why it is relevant but my ELO is 451

I have seen sometimes this card placed net to a mountain pine or Larch provide 1-4 point. Can one explain why?
