Scoring summary during the game?

[Jim Rockford]

How to obtain a scoring summary during the game rather than waiting till the game is over to get the complete summary. I have no idea if am winning or losing, other than terraforming portion of the score

I don't think there is one available currently. Would be a "no-brainer" quality of life addition definitely (and actually help out in learning about the game and game tempo) but we probably won't be seeing it.

It would be valuable, but isn't there.

When we play a table game with cardboard and plastic, we use a cube for each player to keep track of "end-game points" (points on cards, claimed Milestones (but not funded Awards), Greenery and City points, resource points ...) so that we can see total score for each player by adding end-game points to TR. It helps show who the real leader is and where you stand. Highly recommended for this game and many others where the information is public and trackable.

Gosh that is a real disappointment....i wonder if there is reason the score is hidden.....ie if in the board game you aren't supposed to see your score or opponents. I wish these classic games would continue to improve.....if they can find time to make expansions,surely they can put in scoring summary during play.
I think it would GREATLY reduce the learning curve.......i occasionally come back to this game thinking, i must be missing something, i'll give it another try.....

You know that you can still see your contemporary VP situation in the lower right pane? (does not count milestones, cities, greeneries, awards though)

It is a disappointment. These devs have made a real shambles of a great game and over the years since release have done little to improve it, actually breaking things that had worked in some cases.

As mentioned, the scoring in the game is totally public and can be tracked. Some people will argue a house rule that prohibits writing things down, but this favors people who can and enjoy remembering these numbers, while for others it isn't worth the effort or becomes an unpleasant burden, so we all just agree to make it easy. Note some other games do explicitly prohibit any tracking, and others don't reveal all points publicly as earned, but for this one, it's a helpful practice for sure.

Note that VP displayed apparently changes depending on who's turn it is or something strange, so be careful relying on that number.

Scoring is as follows:
TR = VP
+ VP on cards
+ 5 VP for each milestone claimed
+ 5 VP for each award won (2 VP for second place if 3 or more players)
+ 1 VP for each greenery owned
+ 1 VP for each greenery touching a city owned

add it all up and you will see how much VP each player has.

I like that you not immediatly see each others Total Score. Otherwise would be boring at the end.

What I rather much more would like is a score development generation wise. How many games someone could finish it but made it one more generation. It would be so interesting to see the development of each other Total Victory Points over generations in the summary screen at the end of the game
