Can't start turn-based game for 5 players...

I thought the game supported up to 6 players but when I try to add 4 friends, I get an error. "You first have to raise the maximum number of players you want at this table" - I've never seen this error before for a game. Playing this game turn-based with 3 other friends -- no problem. Any ...

Re: How come I'm not allowed to get extra tokens....

Thanks all. I'll post a bug. I just re-read the rules and the publisher's site says: "A player can never have more than 10 tokens at the end of their turn (including jokers). If this happens, they must return tokens until they only have 10 left. A player can return all or some of those they've ...

Re: How come I'm not allowed to get extra tokens....

So then either the "5/10" count is off and should say 9/10 (or 10/10 if you count the gold token, 11/11), or the count should only be looking at tokens, not including the cards I've acquired.

Otherwise, how is one to afford cards that cost > 10 tokens?

Re: How come I'm not allowed to get extra tokens....

Thanks especially for the imgur link suggestion. I hope this works: https://imgur.com/a/1WXs7Xr p.s. robinzig is correct - I'd love to take 3 total tokens but when I start to take one, there's no point because the "Start Over" button appears. I then try to un-select one gem then try all th...

How come I'm not allowed to get extra tokens....

Often my token count may say something like 7/10 or 8/10 and when I select an additional token, the only option I have is to "start over". The way I played this in real life was that I could have up to 10 tokens, not counting the cards of jewels I'd amassed. This is happening to me when I ...

Re: Azul is in Alpha !

I'd like to be a reviewer. I am not an official BGA volunteer reviewer yet, but got added to the game from a friend who is a reviewer. (I'm only missing the 750 games played minimum).

Re: Best BGA game to hone this life skill...

Well it would also prepare me better for unexpected actions made by others, similar to military actions in 7 Wonders that require defensive measures. I should provide more context that this is about awareness and defense, not offense. Many people in the workplace are skilled at this without having t...

Best BGA game to hone this life skill...

(yes, a serious question!) ...which games would you recommend to get better at office politics? I'm going to guess the following mechanics must be present: - it isn't obvious if someone has a lot more victory points than you, though you can get a sense if you are doing well or not relative to others...

How to choose which extra marbles fill the beaker?

Hi - If I have > 3 marbles left over at the end of my turn, how do I choose which specific colors to fill into the beaker? Right now I don't think I am able to make a selection. When I click "Fill", it doesn't always add the ones that I would have added if playing in real life.
