Power Card - Experienced possible coding error?

Post by AmericanEagle »

In game Table #107722861 Move #61

The Yellow car is in the far right lane. Red car moved, Yellow car is not directly behind the Red car, yet the system awarded an Experienced move for the Yellow car

Note in Rules [Diagonal spaces do not count]

Happened second time at the 2nd betting line. Red car in left lane, Yellow car in right line, diagonally apart. System awarded an Experienced move for the Yellow car that is diagonally behind the Red car.


Also, the game pauses while it waits for the Player with Experienced to move their car 1 space. Is there ever a time a Player would not want to move their car forward? If not, then should this action (extra move) be an automatic move instead of a "choice" move?

Such moves happened to be automatic when no choices were to be made. But it caused problems because sometimes you do not want to block your other car or the car you bet on. So confirmation has been made mandatory.

Regarding the issue with experienced, nice catch! There has been mislabeling of spaces on the map due to the "dangerous" spaces. Fixed in next update, thanks!

I have noticed a rules error (I think) on this power. When I have multiple cars lined up behind each other, so for example, yellow, black and green all lined up directly in front of each other. I believe if the front car (yellow) moves, that allows the black car to move one space, and then because the black car moved, the green car also should have the option to move one space. Isn’t this true?

I’ve noticed BGA never gives me the option to move the last car (green). Is this a bug, or am I misreading the rule?
