Bug? Confiant and Stock protector/Wood Barterer / hedge keeper

Post by MadWill7583 »

Tried to use the confidant with both of these cards in play and neither triggered getting the additional wood they give for a fencing action.
Confidant gives a fencing action or sow action. Is this a bug? Unless it is all down to the fact that it is not a "space", hedge keeper does not have the word space the other two do.

Confidant B093
Place 1 food from your supply on each of the next 2, 3, or 4 round spaces. At the start of these rounds, you get the food back and your choice of a "Sow" or "Build Fences" action.
For example, if played in Round 9, you must place 1 food on each of Rounds 10-11, 10-12, or 10-13.

Stock Protector B094

Each time before you use the "Fencing" action space, you get 2 wood. Immediately after that "Fencing" action, you can place another person.

Wood Barterer D119
Each time before you use an action space with a "Build Fences" or "Build Rooms" action, you can choose to either get 2 wood or exchange up to 2 wood for 1 reed each.
This card does not trigger from actions given by cards, such as from Cottager B087.

Hedge Keeper A088
Each time you take a "Build Fences" action, you do not have to pay wood for 3 of the fences you build.
You may spend 0 wood to build 1-3 fences.
Mini Pasture B002, Overhaul C001, and other fencing effects that are not the literal “Build Fences” action, do not trigger this card.

Confidant should not combo with Stock Protector and Wood Barterer for exactly the reason you mention.

I believe it does combo with Hedge Keeper, did you see that going wrong?

Didn’t try with hedge keeper after first two didn’t work.

Ok - in which case this is not a bug.

Unfortunately with the sheer number of Agricola cards, not all of which were written terribly precisely, this kind of thing happens all the time.

My go-to example is the difference between being allowed to do something ("you may build a minor improvement") and getting an action to do that thing ("you get a Minor Improvement action").

These are not the same and trip people up all the time, see eg https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=196112
