Some things could use clarification

Post by DAPARROT »

I was recently playing this game with a friend, and a few things came up where the text on board game arena did not properly describe how something in the game worked:

Movement - while the game says all actions are optional, this does not properly describe what occurs if you choose to move to the city you are currently in. If this was just skipping your move as the "all actions are optional" implies then Jessah would not be able to catch Angela by doing this, but she is able to do so. Presumably Angela would also trigger a radar affecting the city she is in by doing this but this situation did not come up.

Additionally, it would help if it was explicitly stated that Angela can move into the same city as Jessah without being caught. The rules already do state this by saying that Jessah tries to catch Angela as part of moving into a city, but clarifying the situation would still be useful.

Improvements - Two improvement cards have descriptions that do not properly explain their effects.

The Overtime improvement card, which allows Jessah to take 2 actions when taking a wild action, should state that the two actions must be different more clearly. The small =/= on the bottom of the card is easy to miss if you do not already know what it means.

The Reinforcements improvement card, which allows you to increase the value of one of your actions tokens by 3, only mentions the action resolution phase, despite being used in the action programming phase. Someone who is working off of only the description could miss the fact that it must be used when placing an action token, and that Angela can see when they use it.

Neither of these effects are unclear when they are actually being used, but the gap in understanding between when you pick the upgrade and when you use the upgrade will harm new players when they are planning their turns.
