Irrigation channel limit ??

Post by davypi »

I have always assumed that the number of irrigation channels was limited to the 20 that came in the game. I don't see that this has been implemented here on BGA as it does not show a count of how many are left. I couldn't find a clarification about this on BGA. Are channels supposed to be unlimited or is that an oversight in programming?

Huh. I used to think that they were unlimited, like the bamboo. But on page 8 of the 1st edition rulebook, (https://www.matagot.com/docs/Takenoko_rules_EN.pdf) in the box "What if components run short?"
rulebook wrote: - If fewer than three plots are in the stack, this action just gives you the choice between the remaining two (or you have to take the final plot). If no plots or no irrigation channels are remaining, you may not choose the associated action.
So this looks like an incorrect implementation, and a bug report (a rule of the game is not respected) should be filed.
