Animals card wrongly illuminated - bug ?

[danielvictor]

I just left a game where one player had quit-or-been-skipped,and then everyone else had left [I hadn't known that until I played my last move]. So maybe this shouldn't qualify as a bug,but my animals icon was illuminated when I had zero cash.

Probably side II, lvl 5 ?

I think that's right,but now I can't find that game on my finished games list. Is there an issue ?

You can always find your past games, including cancelled ones in your game history: https://boardgamearena.com/gamestats?player=401761

I don't know what Tisaac means though, he will have to answer that

Animals side II, strength >= 5 is always considered playable, as you gain 1 reputation that potentially can lead to a chain of reaction (gaining 1 conservation, gaining a conservation bonus like upgrade a card, etc).
The game cannot compute all the possible paths to check whether you can actually play an animal or not in this case (and it could even be considered too much assist from the game), so it just always let you play that sequence. (you cant just take the reputation without playing an animal though, but you can always undo if needed)
