Need help understanding scoring breakdown

Post by dahliaqueen »

I am fairly new and I don't understand how the 'points from buildings' is so high for some of my opponents. For example: my game #911093646 says my opponent scored 71 points from buildings. When I add them up according to how I perceive the scoring works, I only get 28 points. I took screenshots of both the ending tableau and the scoring breakdown, but can't figure out how to add them to this post.

I checked your replay https://boardgamearena.com/table?table=911093646, and this is the scoring of your opponent from top to bottom:
2 x 4 blue cards = 8, total 8
1 x 15 women tokens = 15, total 23
10 = 10, total 33
3 = 3, total 36
-
-
-
4 = 4, total 40
1 x 15 women tokens = 15, total 55
10 = 10, total 65
-
-
-
1 x 5 black cards = 5, total 70
-
-
-
1 = 1, total 71
-

So you probably missed that some of them are multipliers.

But only one of those was a multiplier of a factor greater than 1 (2 x 4), so that should only have caused them to be off by 4.

If you check that, you can see that dahliaqueen probably missed all multipliers (I am not sure why).

Oh, you mean they didn't count them at all, not that they didn't multiply them.
