rotate/reverse

Post by lucygeorges »

The rulebook states "When drawing routes, you can freely rotate and or/reverse the pattern you see on the die". I can see how to rotate when "drawing" a route, but how does one reverse a section? This is of particular interest for the L-shaped junctions where rail and road meet.

I have since found the answer to my question. There's an additional arrow for that particular route section.
It has certainly helped me out!

Where was the arrow, please, Lucy? I've wondered the same thing, thanks.

I don't have an active table at the moment that I can reference, but from memory, when positioning a die face on your board, the "flip" arrow will be in the bottom-middle position.

Hope that helps!

That's the one for rotating the tile, thanks. If I understood her correctly, the OP was talking about swapping the directionality on the corner road-to-railroad pieces.

Found it! For that piece only, an additional arrow pops up top middle, thanks.

Yep, that was the die face I was trying to address. :-)

Looks like I was only half correct, then. *blush*

OMG I have been playing this game for weeks and JUST found out you can flip the corners. I was reading the rules for clarity for another issue, and found this gem. What a god send!!! 100 points here I come!!!!! (Now I just have to remember to look for the additional button.)
