Rules: a rule of the game has not been respected
Detailed description
• Which part of the rules was not respected by the BGA adaptation
According to the rulebook, at the end of each turn the number of Fires added to the centre of the Circle of Spirits is the same as the number of Animal cards that were taken during this turn (subject to the proviso that there can never be more than 7 Fires inside the Circle of Spirits).
That rule was not followed in a game I played recently, where we bought all of the Level 1 cards: boardgamearena.com/gamereview?table=479793044
The game begins with 23 Level 1 cards, 16 Level 2 cards, and 12 Level 3 cards.
From the beginning of the game until move 348, the players purchased 22 Level 1 cards, 6 Level 2 cards, and 3 Level 3 cards.
That left unpurchased, 1 Level 1 card, 10 Level 2 cards, and 9 Level 3 cards.
Here's a screencap at move 348: snipboard.io/qvX4MZ.jpg
You can see that in the turn just completed, the four of us purchased all four Level 1 cards that were in the Guardian Animal Reserve, and one Level 1 card remained in the deck. We also purchased, during that turn, one Level 2 card and one Level 3 card.
Therefore what should have happened according to the rulebook is, Onibi should have added 6 Fires to the centre of the Circle: 4 of value 2, 1 of value 3, and 1 of value 4.
But look what happened instead, from this screencap of move 349: snipboard.io/Jt3r2k.jpg
Onibi added just one Fire of value 2, instead of four Fires of value 2. In other words, Onibi added the number of Fires corresponding to the number of cards now being *replenished* in the Guardian Animal Reserve, instead of the number of cards that were *taken* from it this turn as required by the rulebook.
Here is the relevant provision from the Rulebook in English: snipboard.io/1MigEq.jpg and in French: snipboard.io/YXeOoa.jpg
The same bug happens again in our game at move 423. At that point, in the turn just ending, we had purchased one animal of Level 1, two of Level 2, and two of Level 3. So Onibi should have added five Fires. But instead, Onibi added only four Fires (two of value 3 and two of value 4).• Is the rules violation visible on game replay? If yes, at which move number?
Moves 348-349 and moves 422-424.• What is your browser?
