Question 2, can't you use a bonus the instant you unlock it? Which does not matter for most bonuses but the draw 2 doors one does not depend on dice rolled.

Question 3, can you combo a double feature bonus and the draw 2 doors bonus into drawing 4 doors?

E: question 4, what happens if you stack both double feature bonuses? Quadruple feature?

E: question 4, what happens if you stack both double feature bonuses? Quadruple feature?

Question 2:
For simplicity sake since we're playing asynch with multiple dice sets, you can only use Bonuses on a Round phase/Round after you've unlocked it (IE: if you unlock a Bonus in Round 1A you can use it in Round 1B/C or Round2+). This includes the "draw 2 Doors" bonus. The only exception to this rule is the "draw 2 Doors" bonus.

Question 3:
No, since the "draw 2 doors" bonus isn't a dice value (the "double feature" bonus double the value of a dice).

Question 4:
The "double feature" bonus cannot be stacked - but you can use both "double feature" bonus in the same Round phase and double both dice instead of just one.

However, this means that if a player gets 6 requests filled they can't use the 2 doors bonus if they leave it for last.
I understand the need for simplification and the difference would only matter on the last turn of the game, which is public information since either a player has just fulfilled the 6th request themselves or it's the turn afterwards, so what about allowing immediate use of the 2 door bonus in the last turn of the game?

This reminds that we are definitely going to vote a Best in Show itt at the end of the game :sparkles:

We've discussed the "draw 2 doors" bonus usage on Discord and I guess it only really matters on the very last round of the game; but it'll be possible to use the "draw 2 doors" bonus if you enable the bonus on the very last Round the same Round you unlock it. I'll send a reminder when it's time to make sure everyone is aware of this.

I'll build a proper FAQ tomorrow, but for now we have another good question from Discord:

Q: can I move the letter that identifies a Room around? Does it take space?
A: the letter cannot be moved around AND it occupies the space it's in.

Couple new questions for our FAQ:

Q: do I get to unlock a bonus when I complete a Door Bonus Demand (IE: Sammy Vee's Flagstone Entry Bonus)?
A: NO, the Door Bonus Demand is tallied up at the end of the game and it does not allow you to unlock a bonus. Each Layout Client has what's called a "door bonus" Demand that involves a door+something else, is scored separately at the end of the game and is identified by the "door" symbol on the Demand and the scoring sheet:


All the other Demands that can be scored and unlock a bonus all have the post-it icon instead:



Q: the vector drawing tool in Tabletop Simulator is huge!
A: once you select the tool, you can press the " - " button to resize it to a smaller tip!

Default size on the left; resized twice with " - " on the right.

EDIT: also, there is now a FAQ section at the bottom of the OP!

Question: what is a "deck" for the purpose of this request, a single deck tile or the whole block of orthogonally connected deck tiles?

E: more for the purpose of possibly doubling up on this request, the image is fairly clear on a single deck tile counting.

Any quantity of "deck" is a "deck" (so even when 1 square is "a deck"; specifically "a 1 square deck").

Q: is a single square Deck considered "a deck" if a size is not specified in the demand?
A: YES. To score the Demand below twice, you'll need all unique elements so (1 unique Living Room with at least 1 unique Door, Window and Furniture) + (1 unique Tree) + (1 unique Deck arrangement, any size) + (1 unique Stone)

So I get that we need entirely unique sets to score a demand a second time, but can the same feature be used to score two separate demands? For example we have two demands invoking dining rooms, do I need a dining room next to a pool and a second next to trees, or can one dining room next to a pool and next to trees?

The same feature can be used to score multiple Demands - the "unique" requirement is only when you want to score the same Demand multiple times.

We here at Vandis Hills know that your time is precious, and that you are only looking for the finest development to move in to. Well, as you can see, we have started with a lovely 3x6 living room here, long and towards the entry of your home.


We've also started opening up the house. While we haven't put in the actual entryway to the house, we have lead it into the back yard, where we've started working on paving in for a pool.


Next up is the dining room, 4x5. simple enough design, off the living room so your guests can come in for food after entering your home.

Note from City Hall
Dear Carl,

it has come to our attention that several architects were present at the last municipal Roll Call for our beautiful city of Pompadia. Do you know what's up with that? I hope this is not another one of your pyramid schemes. We don't want any pyramids in the city, they would block the view to our majestic Railway Hyperloop.

Sincerely,
City Hall

By the way, if someone was to score 6 Demands in the next Round(s), we will still allow everyone to play out the remaining dice rolls for that set (so if someone scores their 6th Demand on Round 4B, we'll still allow everyone to play out 4C as well).

The "First to finish" bonus is going to be assigned based on the "phase" the 6th Demand has been scored (so if someone scores their 6th Demand on Round 4A and someone on 4B, the player(s) scoring it on 4A will get the "First to finish" bonus points).

Dear City Hall,

as a loyal civil servant, I find your accusations disheartening. Never, never would I put personal gain in front of the greater good! Is it my fault if the modern, science based, development methods all revolve around rolling dice heuristic solutions? After the great success of Pompadia, this can't really be put in doubt anymore. Sure, some of these buildings had their load-bearing beams removed to make space for gravel and bathtubs. Are some of the stairs insulated, some of the windows slightly mismatched?

Maybe. But you can't fight progress.
Sincerely,
Carl, Pompadia City Planning

PS: the local Quarry had a discount this month - something about some kind of shiny metal-like substance in the rocks? It's nice, it looks like gold! Anyway, I hope you like Stones.
