I wanted to play Dugong so badly, went through a great deal for it. Upgraded the animals card, places an aquarium next to the enclosure so that it has 2 adjustent water spaces. And it's still not allowing to play - is it because the aquarium is connected to a pond so they are considered as one wate...

Looks like you didn’t have enough association workers. You already had one on the level 5 spot, which means you need two worker to go there again before the break. You only had 1 more worker at that point. Getting another worker from an additional partner zoom gave you one more but also used one, m...

Hello players, I faced an issue in my recent Ark Nova game. I had the whole strategy planned around releasing a monkey with Jungle conservation card. Yet, when I tried playing Association (4 strength + 1X point), BGA didn't give me an option to play the conservation card. I had the worker ready, mon...

You basically get an extra action of family growth if you have space for it at the cost of -2 points. So you can just build and straight up grow into the room with the same action, completely skipping the growth Q. If you get room another way (Master Tanner, Den Builder, etc), then you can grow at ...

So it says, "... At the end of each person action, you can take Family growth action with that person.." How I read it, it means that the Family growth action has to be available in order to do so. So if the action has not come into play yet or is already occupied, CO cannot be used. Is th...

Chatgpt is extremely unreliable when it comes to board games (I prefer not to think about what that means for other areas of application ). It never ever gets agricola cards right.

But, these rules sound so much fun, there should be an expansion like this!

This boggles my mind every time - why do I need to wait for other players to choose mama and papa options before I can choose mine? This delays the start of the game, especially in turn-based mode it can take days just to finish the initial set up. In Wingspan this step is simultaneous for all playe...

Thanks all for clarification. First time I experienced it but apparently not anything out of the ordinary. Agree that it would make more sense to announce it from the very start that the game is free for a limited time only. I perfectly understand that the publisher is in their rights to allow free ...

I'm curious, what happened? It used to be a free game and I would find a partner in under 1 minute. Today it suddenly became premium - no announcement, no explanation - and the wait for the game is more than 15 mins. I thought that is decided by publisher at the release, and wouldn't be randomly cha...
