Question about card cost scoring difference from the physical game

Post by RisingFlower »

Hello everyone,
I’d like to ask for clarification regarding a scoring rule, just in case I’m misunderstanding something.

While playing The Vale of Eternity on Board Game Arena, I noticed that when a card is played (lowered), its cost value does not seem to count toward the score in the same way it does in the physical board game.

In the "offline" original version I’ve played, the cost of the card does count toward the final score once the card is played. However, in the BGA version, this scoring doesn’t appear to be applied in the same way.

Could someone please confirm:

Is this an intentional rule difference in the BGA implementation?

Or is it possible that I’m missing a specific rule or condition that explains this behavior?

Thank you in advance for the help, and sorry if this has already been discussed.

I think you have misinterpreted the rules. Can you highlight what page number and line you are referring to specifically. certain cards give you points for playing them but they are not directly tied to the cost of the card generally.
