Hi BGA!

Thanks for the adaptation! I just played my second game and there were a couple bugs, but the bug report button isn't working for me. I was playing on table=766823656 if you want to review it.

1) The "Build" button didn't appear for one of our players to build a town despite having resources. He had built roads before, so we knew he knew the procedure.

2) I couldn't build two green power plants in one turn. I didn't see a prohibition against this in the rules. Was this intentional?

3) At the end, the points didn't add in like the main Catan version. So my final score showed 9 points and I won immediately with my 1 point victory card. Is it possible to add the little +1 for points that you see in the top left of the player name?

Thank you for the fun play! And feel free to delete this if you move it to a service queue. :)

If only "clean energy" wasn't political, but sadly, it is. Because unfortunately it's too often tied into climate change stuff. And Because the cleanest and most efficient forms of energy are put aside in favor of others, it'll always be an argument.

It's one thing for there to be a new fun game exploring possibilities, but this theme seems over the top.

Can we please get some other Catan variants, such as traders and barbarians?

It’s like the opposite of the people complaining about the 51st state game haha.
Same reply to that just enjoy and play or the game or don’t.

Just played, probably the least amount of fun I've ever had in a game. Complete waste of 40 minutes of my life.

ANY other Catan expansion would be better than this abomination. The video reviews are right; this variant adds nothing worthwhile. And it's not just that the added mechanics are busy and cumbersome, the expansion simply isn't fun.

lol I was thinking the same thing. So this should be called Woke Catan?
100%. give me a break!

I can't speak to the other bug you mentioned but the rules state you may only build one power plant per turn. Page 14:
