Point System

Here is how your relative score can change on your turn:

• Cause an impossible conversion: +2 or more points.
• Lay a standing piece: +1 point.
• Convert a foundation: +0 points (but you get a new foundation).
• Convert an opponents leaner: -0 points (and your opponent gets a foundation).
• Flip your own leaner: -0 (your opponent gets this foundation where it lies).
• Flip opponents leaner: -0 (your opponent gets to put a foundation anywhere).
• Cause pieces to touch: -2 or more points (This can be better or worse depending on whose foundations were included in the tower)

(Note is does not matter if the action piece was involved in a tower, if it goes back in to your stack it means you got 0 points from it. If it goes to the tower that means that it left your stack (+1) but your opponent gets it as a point (-1). This is why the action piece must be resolved carefully after a fault and should not be left standing or laying on the board)
