I had a similar problem too.
The end score in my game ( de.boardgamearena.com/#!table?table=16502868 ) should be 38:32 but it is 38:52. imgur.com/J6e2b5a

I saw my opponent appear to place two contracts on the first play of the game (he had placed one). At the end of the game, the scores on the player displays said 41-3 me, but the window with the final score showed 43-41 him (which was correct).

A plusieurs reprises, dont ma dernière partie (Les Cités Perdues #23991835), les cartes de mon adversaires sont doublées. On se retrouve parfois avec quatre contrats ou avec deux 2 bleus, etc ...
(Sans compter les erreurs comptables. Mon adversaire est annoncé à -3 points & fini par me battre alors que j'en ai 34.)

I don't understand why starting a new expedition costs 40 points while in the actual game rules (as stated in the physical version I have and in the rules on this site) state that an expedition should cost 20 points.
Mar 27th 2020 0:01 • bmcfluff • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:
@swoots As shown in the rules, an expedition with a single handshake card and nothing else is worth -40 because it's -20 for starting the expedition which is then doubled by the handshake. So if you start with a handshake, your score is temporarily -40, whereas if you start with a number card, your score is temporarily -20 plus that number. This is consistent with the rules, both as written and as shown in the scoring example. If you have a specific game and move# where you think something was scored incorrectly, please let me know; otherwise there's nothing I can do.

This issue has 9 votes, but it seems to likely consist in large part of people misunderstanding the rules, and also the last comment that seems to be an actual bug is from 2016 so the bug might well have been fixed since then. Thus I am marking this as Info Needed and will take no further action unless someone provides more information suggesting there is a real, current bug - and please make sure you know how scoring with contract cards works first!

And if your bug involves a card appearing to be incorrectly *duplicated*, please check this other bug thread instead and post your table and move numbers there if relevant: boardgamearena.com/bug?id=3741

If you look at the screen shot of the end of the game and add up the points, I win. But according to the score keepers, I lost

@DirkAxe Did you post a screenshot? I don't see a link, and can't do much without one.

Bonjour, j'ai subi un bug de calcul de score.
Mon adversaire avait 14pts, a posé un 10 avec un seul contrat, et il a gagné 40pts au lieu de 20, le faisant gagner la partie.

Pouvez-vous le corriger ? Merci beaucoup

Hi ZANGDARleGRAND,
That is not a bug; the rules say you get a 20 point bonus when you play your 8th card of the same color. (An extra entry appeared in the game log to explain that this is what was happening, but it looks like you didn't notice that.)

READ ME BEFORE POSTING: This issue has 16 votes, but it seems to consist primarily of people misunderstanding the scoring rules, so go re-read those before posting here! In particular, make sure you know how to score 1) empty piles 2) piles with contract cards (with or without other cards), and 3) piles with 8+ cards (with or without contracts)
The last comment that looks like an actual bug is from 2016, so I'm not going to look into this further until someone has good evidence that a bug still exists.

According to the physical game. Any time you start an expedition (playing anything on any one of the 5 colored areas) you lose 20 points. It's not doubled. It's a standard flat rate to go on the "expedition".
Your score can then either be doubled, tripled or quadrupled depending on how many handshakes you play before the numbered cards. As stated in the instructions, which might avoid confusion, points for use of each expedition should be subtracted after each round. (max 20 per column) Seperate from points gained.
The game is not accurate this way, playing multiple handshakes becomes pointless. A tad frustrating.

@chaybe: I am quite certain the scoring implementation here is correct: (-20)*2=(-40) appears as one of the examples on the back of the physical rulebook. Playing multiple handshakes using these (correct) rules is *not* pointless, since each handshake increases the potential loss but also the potential gain.
