Second book for 3 coins.

Post by Jai »

Hi. In a game I played the card that is supposed to let you to play 2 books (one with the ordinary action and the other paying 3 coins) but I was only able to put 1, either paying the coins or not.
When I payed the coins first, the system skipped main action and if I did the main action first the system sid that the requirements for the secondary were not met.
I am missing something?
Thx

Hi, are you sure you met the requirements to place the second book? What do you mean with "the system skipped main action"?

Hi, the same thing happen to me just today, I checked again the rulebook for that precise effect, and the action must be split, I mean, if you have a value 1 action of course you can play just one book, if you have a value 2 action you can play two books both in the first row, but if you play your first book in the second row you cannot play a second book.

Same thing happened to me today. The value of my action was 4, and it took my coins, but I was able to place only one book.

Hello, I have a different problem but with the same card. I play the card, activate the additional function and want to occupy two book slots with tomes. Once the one with 2 blue tomes and the one with 3 blue tomes. But I only have one blue tome, so I convert two potions into books of my choice. Nevertheless, it is impossible to occupy both book spaces. The message says I don't meet the conditions. I think the error lies in the programming. The system thinks I have to replace a total of 3 blue tomes. It's easy to take 2 other places in the same row, so I have enough action points. It must be the tomes. But this turn I have the condition for 3 blue tomes. Both places must be occupied. Who can help me and fix the error?

Same issue.
Used first placement to unlock master.
I wanted to play master cards to get coins, which I needed to buy potion to place second book.
The game didn't let me.

iirc from playing this at EK Essen all actions can be interupted by special actions and the playing of master card is immeadiate effect as well.

I believe this is not a bug.
You use a potion to replace the blue book requirement, but that doesnt last the entire turn/action.
So you'd need 3 potions total.

The interface is confusing because when you convert a potion is shows as a grey book to be used, but if you check the rules this is not how they work.
They just grant them for the single use.
