Pool Rewards are triggered when the Blue pawn ends its movement on the Blue space. At that point, all players count the total number of pools in their Fountain with water flow. A pool is any instance of water that is surrounded on all sides by bricks at any level, as viewed from the top down. Each Fountain tile contains one pool but can be subdivided into multiple pools when covered by other tiles.

After the pools are totalled by all players, determine the players’ ranking from highest to lowest and players receive points according to that ranking:

In the event of a tie, all tied players take the highest point value. Other non-tied players receive the Reward of their pool rank.

Two Player Pools

In a 2-player game, the player with the most pools earns 7 points and the other player receives 0.

Example: When Pool Rewards are triggered, Jean has 11 pools, Kedric has 10, and Valley has 8. Jean receives 10 points, Kedric receives 6 points, and Valley receives 3.

Example: In this Fountain, there are seven pools as labelled.
