Indicator for current rotation?

[Mr_Magic]

Hi there,

Is there any way of knowing how many cycles the sun has already made? Is it show in the interface anywhere?

Just above the board it should say:

Round X of 3, Turn Y of 6 (at least for the basic rules)

X being what sun cycle you're on, Y being the sun position in the cycle

[Mr_Magic]

So it does, thank you!

Although that indicator is there if you remember to look at it, in turn based games it's very very easy to forget to look, and think you're in round 2 when you're actually at the end of round 3. Even though I'm a very experienced photosynthesis player on BGA, even I still do this sometimes. Several months ago I lost a close game because of this mistake, and just today I made this mistake again, although this time I was far enough ahead that it didn't change the outcome.

Especially for turn based games, it would eliminate a fair amount of frustration if this game gave a much clearer hard-to-miss warning when the game is nearing the end and about to end. There are two feature requests already filed for this:

https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=79061 - "turn counter"
https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=158166 - "Bold warning for last and next-to-last turns"

Please click through and vote for both of these?

Just happened to me again - it was the final turn, but I accidentally misread it as turn 3 of round 2. This time I was very far ahead so it didn't matter that I didn't harvest my final two trees, I won anyway, but it's still frustrating and very unsatisfying to know I made useless moves.

https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=158166 has been open for more than a year and a half and it's still "This suggestion has not been analysed by the developers yet" - are there just no developers for this game on BGA at all? Was this a fire & forget, someone made the game and then left BGA?
