Scoring for regions

Post by SavageMushroom »

Hi, I can't see this topic come up before, which tells me I must be missing something obvious! but can someone give me the details of region scoring. I understand "Depending on its size (1 to 8 spaces), the completed region scores between 1 and 36 victory points" but I can't find the actual scores for the intermediate sized regions.
And for: the region scoring between 10 and 2 victory points depending on the phase, does it go 10, 8, 6,4,2?
thanks!

You can check the size scoring on the lower left side of the main board (1:1, 2:3, 3:6, etc), while the phase scoring is indicated on the upper left side of the main board under A, B, C, D and E.

The main strategy to know is to prioritize small regions first and larger regions later. Speed is very important in phase a and b.

Completing a one-tile region in phase A is worth 11 points, versus only 3 in phase E. On the other hand of five tile region is worth 25 points in phase A (virtually impossible anyway) and 17 points in phase B. Notice the huge drop off in value for a small region but not much of one for a large region.

You should virtually never complete a 5 area region by phase b (23 points). Compare that to completing a one tile region in phase A twice (11+11) and a 3 tile region in B (14) for a total of 36 points.
