Rules on splendor

See the attachment. I'm trying to buy this card but it says I can't afford even when I have 1 card of each stone. Why? Does it mean that I need to have 1 ruby card with 1 point and 1 onyx with 1 point. Even if that is the case, I did not take a screenshot of the play where I was having sufficient stones and number cards but still couldn't buy
Can gold stone be replaced for number cards?
I saw that my opponents only reserved their cards, did not buy any stones, and still got ahead of me by buying number cards. So confusing.

I don't see any attachment, or even a game replay. Your most recent Splendor game seems to be
https://boardgamearena.com/archive/repl ... s=93357955; and I don't see any other recent games, so I'm guessing this is the one? Which card were you trying to buy?

Hi. Saw your reply now. There was no notification also. Anyway, I have attached the file again. I hope it gets uploaded this time. Now let me explain..
I'm trying to buy one card that has 2 points on it. And is must probably onyx (since the pop up has covered the stone but it shouldn't matter nevertheless). The cost of the card is encircled 1 with onyx stone on the side and an encircled 1 with a ruby stone (just explaining because I'm new). My inventory is on top right. Clearly, I seem to be having plenty resource at hand to meet the cost as I have 1 ruby stone, 3 ruby cards, 2 onyx cards. Then, why do I get the message that I can't afford it?
Again, I see that image isn't getting uploaded. There's a warning on post attachment quota reached.

There are 2 ways to display the cost of cards in Splendor. One shows the total cost of each card, the other only shows what gems you still need to buy that card. So there will be empty circles of colours if you have enough gems of that colour in your inventory.

I think maybe you had this option switched on? You change it during the game, tapping the 'eye' on left hand side of your gem inventory (at least if you play on a phone).

Thanks. It must be this. I'll check.
