Trading two food for one online flaw?

Post by FantasticSamson »

This may have been brought up before but I couldn't find an entry. Is it a design flaw in the online version of the game that you can't trade two food for one of any food at any time in certain instances?

The instance I've noticed in particular is with birds that let you tuck two cards at the cost of one food, as the Canada goose does with wheat/seeds/grain. If you only have say, a fish and a mouse, and the Canada goose's ability would be activated, the game currently skips over it as you don't have the correct food.

Is this correct behavior in the context of the actual rules and I'm just playing incorrectly at home?

You can only use two food to pay for a different food when paying the cost of a bird. You need an actual seed to activate a Canada Goose's power. That's why the two for one graphic on the board is part of the play a bird graphic.

Rule is implemented correctly. But you can use two wilds in place of the wheat to play Canada Goose while intentionally not using your wheat. Then discard wheat for cards when activating Canada Goose

Yeah, that's the only legal get-around for that situation.
