Clarification on tile placement Rules on BGA

Post by RamboNumber5 »

Hello everyone,

I have a question about the rules regarding tile placement when delivering to a City or if reaching a station with your train:

If all player tiles have already been placed and a new placement is required, does the game allow for removing a previously placed tile to relocate it to the new spot?

I’d appreciate any clarification or insights about how this is handled in the BGA version compared to the original board game rules.
Thanks in advance!

if you run out of disks you need to take one from your stations away (loosing the points), to do a mandatory delivery

Thank you so far.

Is it also possible to take a disc away if it is not needed for a delivery but for a new station that you reach with your train?

To clarify: I am interessted how this issue is dealt with in the BGA-Adoption. As far as I found out, in the Original game, if you run out of discs you just can not place any more discs.

The BGA implementation follows the rules of the game fully. In both cases if the player is placing a disc for any reason and is unable to source one from their player board, they must select one to remove from any train station (typically the lowest VP one).
