3015: 6 pins in a stack SC4
<SC4><SC4>
SC4 A Stack that includes more than one color (blue, red, orange, or gray) of Scoring Object receives additional points based on the number of colors in that Stack, up to three colors.
If a triangle goal had one stack of 6 pins, would the pins count for six points, but for only one three color stack? 21 points?
Each Stack, regardless of its height, can only receive up to one bonus from <SC4> (for including 2 or 3 different colors), up to one <SC6> bonus (for being connected to a Beam and/or Placed in a Matching Goal), and up to one bonus for being Placed on the Standoff Goal.
The Stack in your example, which consists of 6 Pins and 3 colors, would receive one point per Connected Pin (6 points) and a 15-point bonus for including 3 colors (15 points), for a total of 21 points. If the bottom Pin in this Stack matches the color of the Triangle Goal it's Placed in, it would also earn the 10-point Matching Goal bonus, making the Stack worth 31 points.
