Official Answer
Experience Token Movement Past 12
- If a player needs to move one of their Experience tokens past the “12” space (which is worth 15 points), the player should:
- Move the token back to the “0” space,
- Take a “12” token from the supply,
- Place it under the Experience token,
- Continue moving the Experience token forward as normal.
- This process is repeated each time the token passes the “12” space, so a player can collect multiple “12” tokens if they loop the track multiple times.

Scoring and Highlight of the Day Bonuses
- The “12” tokens are used to keep track of how many times the Experience token has completed the track, which is important for Highlight of the Day bonuses that refer to the total number of icons collected.
- When scoring such bonuses, players can refer to where their tokens currently are on the Experience Track to quickly count how many they have of each of the 5 Experience Track icons.
- Each time the token passes “12” and loops, it represents collecting another full set of that icon.

Summary
- Yes, a player receives multiple “12” tokens if they pass the “12” space multiple times.
- For Highlight of the Day bonuses that refer to the total number of icons, each full loop (each “12” token) counts as another set of that icon, and the current position of the token on the track adds to the total.
