Supporting more then 7 projects? Misleading message

Post by Betelgez »

Although it is not very clear from the game rules, I understand that no more than 7 projects can be supported, since players start with 7 tokens. Right?Yesterday I had a game where I supported 7 projects and I wanted to support more, but I was unable to finish the action (the game allowed me to click "support a conservation project", which I think is misleading). Once I clicked I wanted to support a project, game kept asking me which token I would like to free for that action, which was confusing questions as it looked like I would be able to somehow free token in order to support new project, but wherever I clicked in the board I was not able to "free" the token. I had to undo the action and play something else since my time ran out.

Is this something worth reporting as a bug? Why was I allowed to select "support a conservation project" action if I already supported 7 of them? What kind of message is "which token would you like to free?", it makes no sense.

I didn't see anything in the rules about not supporting more the seven projects in the rules. I've never got past six in any of my games.

You can’t support more than 7. The game designer answered that question in this thread: https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/287658 ... 1#40187171
