Questions

Bonus Tile

Q: Are you given the 7 buttons immediately, or is this tile for end game scoring only?

A: "It discusses the tile after "End of the Game" and in the "Scoring" section. "Determine the number of buttons you have left, adding the value of the special tile if available." "

Can you spend the 7 buttons you get from finishing the 7x7? | Patchwork | BoardGameGeek - https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/1502550/can-you-spend-7-buttons-you-get-finishing-7x7

A: "The first player to completely fill a 7x7 square of spaces on his quilt board receives the special tile, which is worth 7 points." (from rules) - worth 7 points, not 7 buttons

A: "Scoring: Determine the number of buttons you have left, adding the value of the special tile if available." (from rules)

Income on New Buttons

Q: Is income determined before after the paying time for a new tile?

A: (common opinion) You will pay for the patch first, place it, and then move your marker. If your marker crosses a button income space, then you collect the button income for all patches on your board. So, if the patch you just bought provides button income, it will count towards income when you cross the income space.
