Mausoleum vs 7th card Babylon Night

[magical-seahorse168]

Hi,
I just wanted to ask what the supposed behaviour between Babylons 7th card and mausoleum pick a card from discard is, and whether it is bugged. It's not the first time I lost to mausoleum wonder getting priority after I play my last card. https://boardgamearena.com/tableview?table=946375138 for example where I lose because they get to choose a military card last thing after I play my 21st card. Just wondering because I already think that mausoleum is the best wonder by quite a bit even without this interaction. (they make countering stacking green kinda hard, prisoners dilemma)

I've watched the game, and besides some very questionable plays, what you are asking for is simply how these two wonders work.
Babylon let you play your last card instead of throwing it, and by play the game means exactly that, to make a play, which is getting the benefits from that card, discarding it or using it for a wonder stage. In a sense you as babylon have the priority over hali because if you play both your last two cards you're effectively removing one card from the discard pile. What you are asking for is to use your wonder ability after their, which is actually impossible because of how they work: when hali goes searching into the discard pile on the very last hand of the age, with babylon in game it's like as its turn it's not finished yet, so hali has to wait for babylon to end their turn; babylon power works exaclty like that, it gives you one more turn to play.

So this is just how the game works, no black magic, no bug in the bga coding system, no lazy developers trying to implement a basic game mechanic in a 15 year old board game, that's just how it works. Knowing that, maybe next time try playing red early
