Hi,

In a game of Carcassonne I am playing, one of the other players used a magic portal to transfer his meeple on to my meeple in a city which replaced my meeple. Can someone please advise if this is a legitimate move? He already had another meeple in the city as well.

Game number 571818721 move number 140 (I think)

Thanks in advance

Indeed it wasn't. The rules (at least, in their English translation) say this shouldn't be allowed: "After placing a Magic Portal tile, you may place a meeple on that tile or on any other previous placed tile. When doing so, you must follow all other placement rules. For example, you may not place a meeple in an already occupied or completed feature."

Sadly this is a bug which has been reported a number of times over several years, I would suggest upvoting the bug reports but nobody seems to be responsible for maintenance of this game.
