(Resolved) When my last route won't fit ...

Post by SquashEngineer »

I recently ended my last round with a road route that could not be placed anywhere, regardless of how I arranged all the other routes and special routes. I had literally painted my self into a serious corner (gone of the rails, or taken a wrong turn, you could say! :D )

I was wondering how this would be scored, or even whether it was permitted, or was I facing an unavoidable loss.

The only mention in the rules was:

You must draw all 4 Routes (only once) shown on the dice each round, if possible.

Is "if possible" my saviour.

I finished the game, seemingly without ANY penalty for not playing a route at all.

I'm just looking for clarification, that there is absolutely NO PENALTY for not being able to play a route die, either at the end of the game, during one of the intermediary rounds, or conceivably, even self induced by haphazard play throughout the game. Admittedly it might be rather difficult to intentionally block ALL the exits, AND create self closing routes all around the board even prior to the last round of play, but just for my own clarification, there seems to be no points lost, if you have unplayable leftover route(s)?

Lovin' me some digital Roll'n'Write. 8-)

Edit:

I missed the "Extra Tile" post - not obvious from the title.
