Challenge Cards?

Post by ljtrigirl »

How do I see what the challenge Cards mean? I can see the names of the descriptions but not what they actually do.

Try hovering over them with your mouse. I am not sure how to view the hover tooltip on mobile devices though.

I am having no luck figuring out challenge cards on the mobile version. Is anyone willing to post what they mean for reference?

It's the same on mobile except you long-press instead of hover. The tool tips still appear on mobile devices.

Hovering no longer works. There is no description of Challenge cards, so playing with them is really hard mode as, unless you own the game, there is no way to know what they do.

You should report bugs via the bug-reporting interface.

In this case, though, the other posters are technically correct. The tooltips appear -- off the right side of the page. This isn't especially helpful unless you know they're there -- you need to scroll right, which isn't usually possible. I've updated it to make the tooltip start at the edge of the challenge card text instead.

(That tooltips run off the edge of the screen at all is a BGA framework issue, but not one they're in any hurry to fix)

If you are really unlucky, you'll get the one-two punch:

Group challenge: Let Them Eat Cake (CIC cannot be removed)
Individual challenge: No One Left Behind (Must have NO CIC)

We got it in 2P last night and won by shifting CIC to the other player!

I've gotten it in 1P, which is obviously impossible to win because you start with 1 CIC.
