Wow, TM will not stop to amaze me with how subtle the rules sometimes are. You would think that after ~100 games and constantly loitering around the community for more than half a year one would know all the rules, but apparently not!

Does this mean to activate undo you have to activate end of turn conversions as well? Also are there restrictions on when you can undo, as suggested by a poster above? It indeed is kind of inconvenient and is the only reason why I have "always ask for conversions at the end of the turn". ...

(not very good 200-300 ELO player here) One of the things you mentioned was that you realized power of an early temple. To be honest I still don't get why it is so important and maybe you can shed some light on it for me. From my perspective main purpose of getting early temple is getting Earth1 as ...

It seems the issues I raised here didn't get the attention I hoped, so let me just ask a simple question which may resolve 2nd issue for me: "Are players asked whether they want to accept leech after they passed in 6th round? Can they get timed out if they have already left the table and can th...

Hi, I have just started playing Terra Mystica on BGA and I am already facing issues with players that abandon the game and I will describe here two cases I encountered. 1) Yesterday I was significantly winning a game and a player that was supposed to take the last place abandoned the game in 6th rou...
