Carpe Diem

You must move your meeple every turn — you cannot stay where you are (exception noted on page 7). The only way to remain (or move to any space) is to pay 1 bread at the start of your turn via the Baker ability (page 4; Baker, page 7).

If you move onto a semi‑circular space without any adjacent building tiles, you immediately move again (following the movement rules) until you land on a space with at least one tile next to it (page 4).

The first tile must go on the shovel space and all later tiles must be placed orthogonally adjacent (not diagonally) to an existing tile; you may rotate tiles freely but every touching side must match (pond to pond, grass to grass, etc.), and the frame counts as 'grass' (page 5).

In the 2‑player game the last two tiles on a space are removed as soon as the second tile is picked; in the 3‑player game the final remaining tile on a space is removed as soon as the penultimate tile is taken — return removed tiles to the box (page 5).

Yes — bread has two uses: spend 1 bread at the start of your turn to move (or stay) anywhere via the Baker, and spend 3 bread during scoring to fulfill one scoring card’s requirement (it works for both green 'own' and red 'pay' cards) so you receive that card’s rewards without meeting the printed requirement (page 7; scoring cards, page 9).

If you cannot fully meet a scoring card’s requirements you get no points from that card and instead lose 4 victory points (so you can lose up to 8 VPs in a scoring period if both cards fail); you choose the order in which to resolve your two cards (page 10).
