Rule question about playing card action

Post by Gartch »

Hello.
From my understanding reading the rules page 12, when you play an action card for its effect, it still costs an action (in other word it's one of the 2 actions of the turn), am I right? I ask because it seems in BGA version, when you play an action card for its effect, it does not count as one of the 2 actions for this turn.
Thank you for your help.

Do you mean at the first round you can play all 5 cards as their actions in one turn? Does BGA really allow that? It's definitely a bug if it does

Playing a card for it's effect is an action and counts toward your limit. Why do you think it's not?

Well in this game: https://boardgamearena.com/tableview?table=928832778
At the end of round one, my last turn I:
1-played Forcing Fire card for its effect
2-Then I made a burst action (discarding chain of command card)
3-Then BGA interface asked me if I wanted to do one more action, I elected to pass (normaly I should have to wait one more turn in order to pass because I had 0 action left).

The other player already passed, you just chained two turns, no bug here
