That's not really a geographic filter. It's a theme filter, and "Western" is slightly more general (and hence accurately applicable to more games) than "Cowboys".

Re: Missing map ?

If you enable the "Map Pack" option and set "Competitive Level" to "Custom Setup" (optionally "... without A and 0") then you can choose to play map 10. In "Competitive Level" "Normal" or "Same map for all players", if the "M...

Re: Cannot build size 3 enclosure, bug?

I've made a mistake before thinking that I was building next to water when it was actually next to a blue sponsor building tile, but that yellow vs the African zone on the board is subtle enough that it might be worth filing a suggestion in the bug report to increase the contrast somehow.

Re: Rule clarification - Venom.

The problem with venom is that it can leads to blocked tables, so the adaptation is trying as much as possible to avoid that, by sometimes being too restrictive rather that not enough That specific proposal is independent of the venom code. As I recall, venom didn't block me from drawing cards from...

Re: Rule clarification - Venom.

It's been filed before. To slightly misquote Monty Python, you can argue until you're blue in the face but you won't convince the programmer behind the BGA implementation to fix the bug. I wasn't even able to convince them to fix it so that you can use upgraded Cards to draw a visible card, sell tha...

Re: Is there a way to see icons under a placed building?

I find that opacity: 0.8 is just enough to see, but you have to know the icons well to be able to recognise them. I also found, playing a full game, that when I play the Build action I'm slightly annoyed by the opacity being applied to the menu of available buildings. VictoryPointTTV's idea of using...

Re: Is there a way to see icons under a placed building?

The message in the game log is fairly opaque: if you don't already know what it means, it's not easy to figure it out, and IIRC it's quite similar to the message for a bonus triggered by cubes removed when playing conservation projects. I might experiment with using the following custom CSS, because...
