How many cities are there?

[5mingE]

Okay, I know it should be asked long time ago. I know the city expansion has been released for a long time, and the arena rule has changed into cities for almost 2 months. Forgive me if it is solved already, and I don't have the physical copy of the game.

I thought there were 14 victory conditions, 7 city tiles that each with two different sides. I suppose it indicates that some victory conditions are impossible to be put together in a single play. For example, City Seoul has one side of 13pts/6 same color cards and another side of 15pts/5 same color cards, and only one side would be taken. But I actually found 15, and city Madrid has 3 different victory conditions. I could not find any more cities, and I wonder if there are more.

I will type all victory conditions that I have found so far:

• Kraków 17 pts/ , 16 pts/11111

• Seoul 13 pts/6 same color cards, 15pts/5 same color cards

• Madrid 12pts/3333: 3333(no white), 3333(no blue), 3333(no black)

• Samarkand 14pts/44: 4 white with another 4 same color cards, 4black with another 4 same color cards

• Amboise 13pts/43: 4 black 3 green, 4 red 3 black

• Timbuktu 13pts/43: 4 white 3 red, 4 blue 3 white

• Delhi 13pts/43: 4 green 3 blue, 14pts/22222

per BGG there are "7 double-sided City tiles"

so that gives you 14 unique sides. but as you said, it would be impossible to have the same city side that is on the back of an existing tile.

Then city Madrid(3333) is a special case with 3 victory conditions. Wonder which two are in the physical copy.

You have found the missprint

The correct Madrid tile should have been no black on one side, no white on the other but we made a mistake in our files and create the no blue one (oupsi).
This version only exist in the first print of the game in EN and FR.
It doen’t create any balance issue as all player have the same access to the tableau but a very subtle color demand issue (if you play with the miss printed version, your games will be a little less blue oriented).
