Detailed description
-
• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if any.
In this game, I accidentally played a card that blocked the only possible green path, so as soon as I had played it, the game instantly ended in defeat.
When playing in person, other players would point out that this move loses on the spot, and it would be taken back. I think that if the BGA implementation displayed a warning popup that says "You are about to block the green path and lose the game - make the move anyway?", that would be closest to the offline experience. -
• Please explains what you wanted to do, what you do and what happened
• What is your browser?
doesn't matter :)

Report history
I can't satisfy everybody anyway... e.g. boardgamearena.com/bug?id=13887
Also, userprefs are a good way to actually satisfy everybody. :) If you think this is too intrusive, or that some players may not appreciate being warned that they are about to mess up irreversibly, it's always possible to only do this if a corresponding preference is turned on.
