Extension map better explained please

[viperino]

Hello, could someone please rewrite the explanation for the meaning of some expansion maps? Some of them don't make sense. Or could someone clarify it here. The one with all the bombs on it for instance is particularly indecifrabile. Thanks

The rules for Isla Bomba are available here:

Can you be more specific about what you don't understand? And if you talk about the adventure board "Isla Bomba" or the treasure map "Burning Map"?

I'm confused by how the two bombs on the map Isla Bomba affect Carpenters.
Let's call the bomb in column 3 "bomb 1", and the bomb in column 5 "bomb 2".

Official rule (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gE4VjJ ... 0MPoK/view#)

↑ According to official rule:
Bomb 1 "counts as a Gunner for the Carpenter’s end-game effect."
- My understanding is if it's not covered, there is a Gunner. And a Gunner will make Carpenters in its line and column (which are line 2 and column 3) count no coins. I don't think it affects ALL Carpenters on the map. Well, if it does affect all Carpenters, it would be appreciated if related description is added on BGA.
Bomb 2 "counts for your Gunners’ end-game effect", and "does not affect your Carpenters."
- I think the rule description is clear that this bomb does not affect your Carpenters. However, on BGA map (screenshot as below), it says "if this bomb is active, Carpenters will score no points".
BGA map description:


Some related matches:
Bomb 1 uncovered, bomb 2 covered, so I got 2 bombs, and my Carpenter, which was not in line 2 or column 3, score no points.

Both covered, so I only got bomb 2, and all my Carpenters got their points when BGA says "if this bomb is active, Carpenters will score no points".
https://boardgamearena.com/archive/repl ... s=98561710;


In sum, I think:
1) BGA bomb 1 (in column 3) affects ALL Carpenters on the map; Idk if it should affect all Carpenters or just Carpenters in line 2 and column 3;
3) BGA bomb 2 (in column 5) does not affect Carpenters which is consistent with the official rule. However, BGA description is wrong.

I've reported them. Please vote it: https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=204514

Was bomb 1 problem fixed?
My opponent covered bomb 2 and didn't covered bomb 1, and his Carpenter got 3 points.

With Isla bomba I would like to know how many bombs are counted at the end even if you cover them. Someone in a chat told me you have to cover the one in column 3 with the gunner otherwise it counts, but then the gunner would count anyway. In my last game I had two gunners but both bombs on the board were covered and I lost because apparently one of the bomb still counted.

I agree that the English manual for the expansion is not great. Am I right that the Red (Burning) Map counts as a bomb if you have it at the end of the game? So you can have only have 1 more bomb on your board at the end of the game because with 2 more bombs on your board you will loose with 0 points? And prison fields on the map don't count for this right?
