Game End and Scoring

When Carnegie ends, how major-city connections score against your slowest transport level, and every item of final scoring.

End of the game

The game ends after 20 rounds: all four action markers have reached the last spaces of their rows and every player has finished the round, including activating employees. Then score.

Connections between major cities

The four major cities are New York, Chicago, New Orleans and San Francisco. If a continuous chain of your own construction disks links at least two of them, you score the connection table on the board.

1. Add up the connection points of the major cities in your network — printed under each city: San Francisco 2, the other three 1 each.
2. Find your lowest transport level among all the regions that hold those cities.
3. Read the table:

Connection points	Cart	Stagecoach	Railroad
2	3	6	9
3	6	12	18
4	12	18	27
5	18	24	36

• Two separate networks: only the better one scores.
• A city counts once however many routes reach it.
• You can’t leave a linked city out to avoid a slow region.

Final scoring

Add to the VP already on the score track ( immediate VP from income and Departments):

Item	VP
Unused Action Choice tile	3
Each standing employee	1 — not those on Missions, not the permanent Human Resources employee
Each Department you built	3 in your Company’s top row, 2 elsewhere (printed left of each row)
Project tabs	every revealed VP space — at most 6 Housing, 9 Commerce, 12 Industry, 15 Public Infrastructure
Major-city connections	the table above, up to 36
Each construction disk on the map	0–3, printed under its city (small 1, medium 2, major 3; some small cities 0)
Each donation	its condition, at most 12 (more with tab bonuses)

You may still sell goods cubes for $1 during final scoring, for example to pay Welfare donations.

[D&D] Expansion Departments 20, 24, 28 and 32 and the New Donation tiles add conditions here (Departments & Donations).

Ties

There is no tie-breaker: tied players share the victory.
