Wording of Expert in Small Animals

Post by dwarvintime »

https://boardgamearena.com/gamereview?table=466537672 In move #188, I play a slow worm from display. The cost is 4, discounted by 3 (partner zoo), discounted by 3 (expert in small animals). So, it costs -2, but is displayed as 0. Display cost makes it cost 2 more, allowing me to play it.

Is this interaction intended? The wording of the card (on BGA) specifies that expert in small animals reduces the cost indicated on the animal card. In theory, this means that the slow worm should cost 2 still.

Game designer confirms it is intended ( cost reduction comes after display cost is added) :
