So, I've played 55 games of Teotihuacan on BGA, and I've just noticed something. Unless my memory is playing tricks on me, every game has had three 1-gold cost technologies on the first row of the Alchemy board and three 2-gold cost technologies on the second row.
I now own the physical game, and I realised that randomly drawing the technologies and ordering them by tile number would not always result in this distribution: it is perfectly possible for a 1-gold cost tile to appear in the 2nd row or for a 2-gold cost tile to appear in the first row.
One would think in 55 plays that this should have occurred at some point, but as far as I recall it never has. Is this a bug? A deliberate feature of the BGA implementation? Or just the way chance has fallen in my games or my memory playing tricks?
