For what it's worth,at a basic English language level [I don't know about other language editions] an icon is an icon.Ok,I get that nobody seems to care about that,but when I'm a bt tired,and short on concentration,I rely on what's written on the card,and don't feel like digging around in the rules ...

You did get something - you got the appeal for playing the animal-with-glide - so it's not as if nothing changed. It's easy to miss bonus effects,like extra appeal or reputation - you just assume the system will have taken care of it all for you.Which it did,TBF - it just cheerfully swallows your di...

I played a sea creature with a glide effect,and discarded a card with what appeared to be a sea creature icon to it. Nothing seemed to happen.I confirmed my turn and then eventually worked out that the icon hadn't counted because it was a requirement [technically correct iconography,but still potent...

Sorry,still not clear,so is that actually a rule in the second version ? Part of the problem arises because the English translation of ''everybody should' might or might not refer to a mandatory instruction.

I haven't/couldn't translate the original rules.But I couldn't see anything in the English Rules to prohibit passing in the first two rounds.It seems to be permitted by the BGA interface,which has a pass option [I haven't tested that,for obvious reasons].

Pretty sure that that should work,so please file a bug report.

There has to be one -to comply with the rules,and yes,it should ask for confirmation.Some of these default options that you really wouldn't want to take are a little too in-your-face.

Ok,fine,only the act of buying the animals tends to leave me poor.So then I can't afford to buy a longship for a while,and if I take one with wood,I alert my opponent,and wind up probably going after them in the turn sequence next turn.Maybe I should try sheep istead of cattle.
