Carcassonne: The Castle
← All Carcassonne: The Castle questions
Do you need to fully enclose a court before its markets score?
The rulebook scores courts only at game end; posters agree enclosure is not required.

No. Courts are scored only at the end of the game, whether or not they are enclosed. A merchant counts if it is connected to a market by grass, and enclosing a court does not return any merchant to its owner.
