Why is Confirm Timer a game option and not a player option?

None of the game options have descriptive information text about themselves. What do the ban lists include?
There was a ticket about Confirm Timer during alpha phase where some people asked for faster tables. Global option was a solution at the time.
As for the ban lists, the first is from Harvest mini expansion ruleset, the second comes from Gernot Köpke, the designer, on BGG forums, you can google that. I agree I should add some info.

As I said earlier I haven't had much support from BGA team on this whole project, and I really really wanted to get it out before Xmas so there are inevitably some rough edges still. The game is in beta after all.

If you see any bugs or have any suggestions please open a ticket where players will be able to vote and discuss, I will continue to support this.

I agree, confirm timer should definitely be a player option. It can be very important to review what you did without being forced to click in a couple of seconds.

You could also note the 2 or so occupations that are not usable with Norwegians in the ban list. Trivial but interesting info.

Pretty good implementation, I'm enjoying it immensely!

Two pieces of feedback after a couple of games.

1) The islands included in a 3 player game seems fixed to always be Norwegian islands plus Shetland + Greenland, but in the rule book it says you should do either That OR Iceland + Faroe, it would be nice if there was an option for this so that the game is less the same every time.

2) The Small whaling boat emigration seems to be missing it's texture and is currently just a white square when placed on the Feast board.

Awesome!!!!! Super psyched about this. Now we just need to get it into arena, and make arena 3 or 4 players!

Thank you for adding Feast for Odin Expansion, very much enjoying. A couple things I've noticed:

1. The final column action space "exchange a whaling boat and one silver for one long boat" is currently in between the "Build Houses and Build Ships." It currently counts toward several cards that apply to "when building houses." Princess, Carpenter, etc. It seems like this action should only be in the "Build Ships" category, and only count towards those cards, not the "Build Houses" cards.

2. The Card 164 A (Armed Fighter) - it should be possible to do the fourth column action space "Build one longhouse and one knarr." If you play the card before the action, then take a stone, then build... But whenever I have 2 wood and 1 stone, it comes up and says "after playing that card, you will not be able to take action," which is not true.

Thanks!

What a great holiday gift - thank you so much for releasing The Norwegians early... er, right on time!

One thing I noticed: in my solo game (see the image below), I've emigrated 3 knarrs and a whaling boat, and I currently own a whaling boat and a longship. I attempted to play the action "emigrate a whaling boat; pay to emigrate a knarr or a longship". However, when I play that action, it only lets me emigrate the whaling boat, it does not emigrate the longship - even though I have room on my feast table for that. What could be the issue?

Note: If you would like to view this game in progress, it is Table #607938206. I've stopped playing it so that you can see the setup.

It does 1 then the other, so the popup will ask you to pick a Whaling Boat (or Pass) THEN you can pick the Knarr as a second step (or pass)
