Credits are only deduced for completed games.
If the owner of the game - the one who pays for it - leaves before the end f the game no credits are lost.
How to play
Place your tile so that it matches the existing ones.
You can rotate with the rotate button on the right side. The tile will only rotate into good positions.
Put one of your players (the little avatars at the top) on the tile by clicking on a red circle. This way you can occupy a castle, road, cloister or field (an entity).
Click 'Submit' - the program will warn you if the tile doesn't match or if the entity was already occupied.
When you complete an occupied entity you get points for it and your player(s) are returned.
Scores
The program automatically calculates the scores for you - so the rules are listed here just for information.
During the game you get points when you complete a castle, road or cloister occupied by you. For fields you only get points at the end of the game.
If more than one player is present in a castles or road, the one that outnumbers the others will get all the points. If they have the same number of players in the castle all the players get the points.
For a completed castle you get 2 points per tile and 2 points per pennant (court of arms).
For a completed road you get 1 point per tile.
For a completed cloister you get 9 points. The cloister is completed when all its sides are connected i.e. there are no empty places around it.
End of game score
The game ends when all tiles are placed. Then you get points for uncompleted castles, roads and cloisters, but only one per tile. Also pennants are not counted then.
At the end you also get points for fields - 3 points for each completed castle that borders on your field.
For an uncompleted castle you get 1 point per tile.
For an uncompleted road you get 1 point per tile.
For an uncompleted cloister you get 1 point per neighboring tile.

They claim it's a Carcassonne type game, but it's a terrible knock-off.

I can never get a game to work how I want. I used to be able to play with my wife, now every time I try a bunch of strangers jump in. Ads pop up even when I'm not in the game, just even it's running in the background. Used to enjoy it, now going to uninstall.

The app is free but you can't play, even if someone invites you, unless you buy a game. Not ethical, not keeping app. Too bad, because it used to be fun. Now they are just want to make money.

I really enjoyed playing this game. Even if it crashes some times, I didn't encounter problems with gameplay. Recommend!

Game keeps crashing whenever I use the chat during a game. To make it worse.. I loose points because it thinks I exit the game! It's BS. Fix this asap...

I'm a long time player in this group. Full games are cheap with costs between $.05-.15. Unlimited free basic games. PRO:Good smart people to play against from around the globe. 2 games with multiple expansions. CONS: Stability has been an issue to a greater or lesser degree for years. Lots of people only play the free game which causes crashes for those that actually pay to play. Many times I've been 2-3 tiles away from finishing a game when the app freezes cold turkey.

The rotate tile button doesn't work and has caused me to lose points. Yes it will sometimes auto rotate into a position when placed, but if there are other right possibilities it will not change. And even then it doesn't always self rotate

Ads block chat in the main lobby. No way to actually rotate tile in game.

I can't play cuz during game there is an ad that is right over the submit button so I can't place pieces down. 1 star until fix

Ads now break the game on Nexus 5. Buttons go of screen and can't play. Doesn't happen every time but often.

Amazing game, but the implementation makes it utterly unplayable. The buttons in the bottom of the screen jump outside the visible area in about 30% of the games only allowing you to resign.
