Changes risk weighting for Assam landings.
Count every exposed half of your color.
Each dirham is 1 final point.
Visible halves for the leading rival color.
Coins held by the rival you are chasing.
Adjacent exposed halves of your color.
Payment size if Assam lands there.
Approximate move risk, including turns.
Adjusts expected opponent payment risk.
Each rug can add up to two visible halves.
Covered rival halves already removed from scoring.
Empty or easily contestable spaces left.
Used for final majority status.

💡 Calculation Tips
Count exposed halves carefully. A Marrakech carpet has two squares, but only the halves still visible at final scoring add points.
Separate score from risk. Current final score is visible rugs plus dirhams; Assam risk estimates how much a near landing could change those dirhams before the end.
The game of Marrakech are a game in which players earns points from the number of visible carpet and coins that is held by those players. In order to win the game of Marrakech, a player must understand how the two game element contribute to a players final score. A player earn one point for each of the visible half of color on the game board, as well as one point for each of a dirhams that the player hold in their hand.
If another player’s carpet covers a carpet (or if it is flipped face down), then the carpet is no longer visible to other players. As a result of a carpet becoming invisible, the carpet is not earning any points for the player that owns that carpet. Thus, players must keep track of which of their carpets are visible and which of their carpets is covered by opponents, as only those that is visible will contribute to the players score.
How to Count Points in Marrakech
The movement of the Assan piece can lead to changes to a player’s score. If the Assan piece land on the edge of a block of color, the player who control that color block receives a number of dirham as payment for the player’s move. The number of dirhams that the player receives is equal to the size of that color block.
Thus, more larger color blocks can lead to a player receiving a significent number of dirhams, but also place the player at risk of losing those points if another player’s carpet covers the player’s color block during their turn. The number of carpets that a player still have in their hand can affect the score that a player can earn during the game. Each player starts with twelve carpets.
Each carpet contain two halves of color, leading to twenty-four possible halves of color for each player. However, each carpet that a player place on the game board contributes to the player’s score. Thus, if a player still has carpets in their hand, those carpets cannot contribute to the player’s score.
Additionally, a carpet can be used to cover an opponent’s color, which remove points from the opponent and adds points to the player. A player must compare their score to that of an opponent to determine their strategy for the game. A player’s score is calculated as the number of visible halves of color that the player control in relation to the game board, as well as the number of dirhams that the player control in their hand.
It is possible that another player may have fewer visible color half, but may have earned more dirhams through the movement of the Assan piece. Additionally, it is also possible for a player to have more visible colors than an opponent, but to have fewer dirham. Thus, a player must consider the score of each opponent and determine whether they are working to protect their lead (if any) or chasing their deficit (if any).
The calculator is a tool that help to players to track their score during the game. A calculator can track the number of visible halves of color that a player controls, as well as the number of dirhams that they controls. The calculator can also estimate the number of carpets that each player has remaining in their hand, as well as the maximum score that each player can potentially earn during their turn.
Additionally, the calculator can display the margin of a players score relative to their opponent. Thus, the calculator can help a player to understand whether they are attempting to protect their lead or chasing at a deficit. Furthermore, it can provide players an understanding of the visible color and visible dirham during the game.
