How is it such a simple game is played incorrectly by so many people? If you can't figure out why this picture is wrong, do us all a favour, and throw your camera and game away.

The top right city tile appears to have slid over one.

What is up with that right road/city tile the red meeple is on? Is it damaged or something?

To be fair, golden retrievers are more of Settlers players.

Nice to see that people are paying attention.

Looks like the top right tiles were inadvertently bumped by errant paws during photo-taking. C'mon, it's not easy to lay all those tiles with paws.

The center-right tile is perfectly fine, but it might have an object on it that interested a normal food-obsessed golden retriever... devil

I bet that golden retriever regrets not keeping a meeple in reserve for that monastery. The breed is notorious for play like that, though.

LoL! Never mind the grouchy one... This is a great picture! Your dog looks like he is concentrating very hard... or he is just looking forward to eating the meeples...

Seriously?

This is a great photo, and all you can do is complain about a set-up problem. Honestly, as the old adage goes, if you can't say anything nice....

I really don't think that's the main focus of this photo
