Overachiever order of events

[Rudi1976]

Imo its not ovious in which order the events triggered by the card will occur.

I got overachiever down and use wish for children. Voila there is a a button to play a major or minor improvement, so far so good. But what im missing is the option to play the minor improvement from the action space itself, as Id like to first play a minor via action space and follow up with a major improvement from overachiever.
Anyone knows if the extra button from overachiever will come back if I first pass on it to play the minor from action space?

I believe the consensus is that the wording "Each time you use [x]" as is present on Overachiever is interpreted as "Each time immediately before you use [x]".

So you must play the overachieving improvement before the family growth minor. If you pass on the prompt, you will not be able to overachieve after playing the fg minor.

Thanks for the reply. I played it "safe" and did use the overachiever improvbement first. Good to know, that there is a non written rule for events triggered similiar.

I kind of gather that the minor improvement action comes after the family growth action on the wish for children action space, and so overachiever triggers before you get to play a minor

There's a thing in 2ed that card actions come before space actions unless there's a specific text otherwise. Or at least, that's my understanding.
