End turn and and proceed to limited or normal cleanup depending on if a tile was purchased prior in the turn

By "end turn" does it mean:
If I turn up a vizier on 1st action, I discard 5 from faceup money, and do limited cleanup? (game does not get a tile like it does if I take money/remodel)

and if I turn up a vizier on 2nd+ action, I discard 5 from faceup money and do normal cleanup?

Whether the game gets a tile is based on your normal actions and is not related to the vizier's favor.

Think vizier=taking money=remodeling.

2. 1st Action: active player chooses to...
a. Take money or remodel or turn vizier face-up: (end turn after performing the following game reaction and cleanup)...etc.

Example #2:
I turn a vizier face-up on 1st Action. I discard face-up money>=5, and the game gets a tile matching a remaining face-up money card from future/current/choice (i.e. like if you take money/remodel on 1st action).

Example #3:
I pay exact for a tile on 1st action. I then turn up a vizier on 2nd Action. I discard face-up money>=5. Now game gets a tile of my choice from current market or discard remaining money cards=10.

When active player uses an action to turn a Vizier token face-up, game reaction occurs just as if player had taken money /remodeled. Before the game reaction occurs, however, 5 in face-up money cards must be discarded.

Question on Worker Huts:
In the regular game you can get 3 huts during the game. In this variant, there are only 4 huts in the whole game. You can get 1, then if you get a 2nd, the game gets the 3rd... what happens to the 4th? Can you get it (hut #3 for active player)? Or does the game automatically get it?

1. When you pay exact and get the worker hut, it "counts as an action and therefore ends your turn." Then the game does what? Takes a current tile? Discards 10 in face up money? or >= 5 in money?

2. Is taking the worker hut optional? Or do you have to if you are able?

3. How does the worker hut figure into final scoring in the size difference of Alhambras (i.e. the smaller gets 2 pts per tile for ever tile smaller)

When researching the end game in original rules found the 10 points game gets if it is forced to end the game.

At 1st scoring the game may get one if it fits their Alhambra

Trying to block the game from getting a 2nd one is important. I am usually able to accomplish this by preventing the game from getting one during the 1st scoring round.

When you pay exact for a tile, and there is a like-color hut next to it, you may take the hut if you wish; this counts as an action and your turn is ended. (The game responds the same way as if you took money/remodeled)

If it is the 2nd hut you have taken in the game, the Game opponent gets one of the remaining huts; it must be placed in the Game's Alhambra, if it can't, then neither the player nor the Game may take huts.

If the game takes a tile(current tile, not future tile), and there is a matching color hut next to it, the tile+hut must be able to be placed in Game Alhambra or Game loss results.

2. When game ends before 2nd scoring, does 2nd scoring AND 3rd scoring occur? Or just 2nd scoring? This has happened the last two times I've played (both with the Worker Huts - don't know why I'm running through the tiles so fast with this expansion)

Let's say that I overpay for a tile. The corresponding/paired tile that the game takes is the last tile in its spot (no current tile to take its place). So the game is over; but who technically caused it to happen? Me (for triggering the taking of the last tile) or the game (since the game took the tile)?

1. How do use Laila? She allows you to return a tile in the market to the bag and draw another. But you don't use the bag (but rather the future draw stacks) in the solo variant.

2. When you buy a character card, does it count as an action (and therefore end your turn)... or is it just something you do before your first action of the round?

Did you ever consider penalizing the player for points when he uses or doesn't use coins by the end of the game? Just curious about your design process on this one.

I usually only overpay once or twice and the times I used the change to gain a bulk of coins it seemed to hinder my play.

3. If 10 in money cards is not showing, and I can't pay exact for 2nd action ---- overpay for another tile and then remove the card(s) (1 card > 10 or multiple) - game still does not get a tile
