Placement Scoring when a miniature is placed inside an enclosure

Image Asset token Condition Fertilizer tokens
Cow 3, 3, 4, 5, 7 0
Sheep 1, 2, 3 then 3 each. every pair = 1
Chicken 1, 1, 2, 2, 3 then 3 each 2
Grain 2 each. 0
Corn 2, 2, 2, 3 then 3 each 1
Hay 1 each, 1 animal in farm +1, 2 animals in farm +2, 3 animals in farm +3 every pair = 1
Barn 2 each, first barn grants: placing any cow,sheep,chicken add 1 fertilizer 2
Granary 1 each, first granary grants: placing a grain add 1 point 1

The numbers are the points for the 1st, 2nd, 3rd… miniature of that type that you place in an enclosure. Once you pass the listed numbers, each further miniature of that type scores the number after then, or the last number if there is no then (the cow keeps scoring 7).

Sheep pairs. Each time the sheep you place is your 2nd, 4th, 6th and so on, you also take 1 fertilizer.

Hay pairs. Each time the hay you place is your 2nd, 4th, 6th and so on, you also take 1 fertilizer.

Hay bonus. If you have at least 1 animal in your farm when you place the hay you score +1 point (2p in total) for that hay. If you have at least 2 animals the bouns is +2 instead (3p in total), and for when there are at least 3 animals add +3 (for a 4p in total).

Barn bonus. Once your first barn miniature is in one of your enclosures, you take 1 extra fertilizer each time you place a cow, sheep or chicken. The barn miniature gives no bonus for animals you placed before it.

Granary bonus. Once your first granary miniature is in one of your enclosures, you score 1 extra point each time you place a grain. The granary miniature gives no bonus for crops you placed before it.

Only your first barn and first granary give a bonus. Further barns and granaries only score their own points and fertilizer.


Asset Token placement on farm board

In step 6 you place the asset token in one category on your farm board. Each category has up to four slots that are filled from left to right. At the end of the game each category scores once, with the points printed on its furthest filled slot. The slots are not added together: three chickens in All of the same type score 6 points, not 1 + 3 + 6.

Category Slot 1 Slot 2 Slot 3 Slot 4
All of the same type 1 point 3 points 6 points 8 points
None of the same type 1 point 2 points 4 points 7 points
Alternating animal and crop 1 point 3 points 5 points 7 points
The leftovers (no restrictions) 1 point 2 point 3 points 4 points

The leftovers accept any token, so use it when a token does not fit another category. If the leftovers is full and the token fits no other category with a free slot, the token is discarded and scores nothing at the end of the game. Its miniature stays in the enclosure and the placement points are kept. This is unlikely, since you place 10 tokens in 23 slots.
