Example 1: in a region with the values "5/3/1", red, blue, and yellow have 4 Caballeros each, and green has 3 Caballeros.
Scoring: red, blue, and yellow get 3 points for the 2nd rank. Green takes the third rank and scores 1 point.
Example 2: in a region with the values "6/4/2", red has 4 Caballeros, blue 3, and yellow and green have 2 Caballeros each.
Scoring: red gets 6 points and blue 4 points. Yellow and green have the same number of Caballeros, slide back one place in the ranking, and get no points in 4th place.
King’s Bonus
Every time the King's region is scored (even special scorings due to action cards), the player with the most Caballeros in that region receives an additional 2 points. The King's Bonus is lost if no player possesses a majority (i.e. if there is a tie for first).
Home region bonus
If a player possesses the majority in the region where his Grande stands when that region is scored, he receives an additional 2 points. The bonus is lost if there is a tie for first in this region. Some action cards allow players to move their Grandes and, thus, change their home regions.
MOBILE SCOREBOARDS
The two mobile scoreboards come into play via the action cards and are used to alter the value of a region.
