Hi

A quick rules question. If you build over one of you flipped over industries, du you score points for that industri?

No. Scoring happens at the end of the phase (unlike moving up the income track, which occurs immediately when the tile flips), so you don't get any points if that happens.

By the same token, the tile that gets built over doesn't score a point for the owner of a canal or rail link into the location. (So if the tile that replaces it is not flipped by the end of the phase, the value of each link into the location has effectively been reduced by 1.)

If you have a flipped Tech 1 Coal Mine on the board in a location that each of your opponents has a canal link to, and you build over it with a Tech 2 Coal Mine just before the Canal Phase, you're (relatively speaking) not costing yourself any points, since a Tech 1 Coal Mine is worth only 1 point.
