#23248: "Confusing: only one of the 3 actions in each action slot is clickable"

• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if any.
As a new player, I was very confused by the fact that after placing one of the dice onto my player board, the game only allows me to choose whichever action (Signoria/Assignment/Hire Helper) is directly below the die. I kept reading the rules to see if this was due to the fact that we were playing a 2player game, until I finally figured out that all 3 actions are available to chose via text button above the playing board.

I think the game interface would be far more consistent and intuitive if all 3 actions were clickable directly on the action slot. The text buttons above the playing board are fine as well, but I think they should only be offered as an additional option.
