how many mistakes ?

[Kakitaievitch]

Is there any way to know how many mistake were made in the game ?

1/3 of the background is shaded red for each mistake made. It's not very obvious unless you look for it.

Of course if you are playing with flamboyants and want to know how many mistakes were made including a 'forgiven' one, you'll have to look back at the log.

The number of bombs is represented by the background behind the played cards.

At the begining the landscape blue.
For each bomb a part of that landscape becomes red.
When you reach the 3d bomb, it’s all red and the game is lost.

Here’s an example with 1 bomb :

Thank you !

super not obvious, thanks for sharing this!

[Silene]

not only not obvious - it also is a part of a picture which you never sees completely and that part is very unpleasant to look at. it would be nice if it was possible to just show plain blue vs. plain red without any motive. or instead show some markers somewhere...

The deluxe version of the physical game uses that picture in three parts.
I agree it’s definitely not the best way to keep track of the bombs.

Imo on the BGA’s version it should have at least a title which shows up when you’re mouse is on the picture, displaying a text like "2/3 bombs".
But this is not even a good alternative for phone users.

That's fine, but does it place the tiles under the played cards? So when you make a mistake you have to remove the stacks, flip a tile, and put the stacks back? I doubt many players do that with the physical game.

Ahah, of course not!
Players can place it wherever they want, and will probably choose to place it elsewhere.
