House Redevelopoment does not seem to work properly.

Post by Rooster6975 »

Playing a 4-player game of Agricola. I just played on "House Redevelopment". The game came up with this odd message saying, "You must confirm switch of player". I cancelled a few times because I didn't know what it meant, but then decided to let it ride. My house was correctly upgraded from wood to clay, but it never presented the option to play a Major / Minor Improvement. It just went to the next player. I am very reluctant to call this a bug because every time I am certain I have found a bug in a game, it turns out it was some esoteric rule I was unaware of and BGA was correctly interpreting it.

In this case, you are not even allowed to select a spot unless you can complete all actions on it, and I have plenty of resources I could have used to build a Major improvement, plus I still had 4 minors to choose from. It's table=698859145. I am green player.

Am I missing something? The card clearly states, "You may only build a major improvement or play a minor improvement if you renovate first. You are not allowed to renovate your house twice in a single action."

Thanks!

Haha! I'm wrong again! Very happy to report it does actually work properly! Just a little disconcerting that it ended my turn without allowing me to choose a Major, but once again, BGA was correct. One of the other players had played an occupation called "Pattern Maker". It reads, "Each time another player renovates, you can exchange exactly 2 wood for 1 grain, 1 food, and 1 point."

After I had selected "House Redevelopment" and upgraded my house to clay, the game shifted over to that player asking if he wanted to do his exchange. As soon as he said YES, the game shifted back to me to build a Major or Minor. Because we were playing in "2 turns a day" mode, the other player didn't decide on his exchange for several hours and I was left thinking the second part of that action had been skipped.

Thanks!
