More combinations than expected?

Hi! I started a solo game to get the gist of it, but I might be misreading (and mis-hearing) the rules.

As I understand it, at each round there are only three possible pairs: one number coupled with exactly one action.

On the other hand, the selection process first lets me select a number, then one of two possible actions. This makes the possible pairs in a round equal to 6 actually.

Is this the expected behaviour?

Yes it is. The rule states : "He then choses two of these three cards, one for its number, the other for its effect".
So that's indeed 6 combination.

Hi.
I was surprised too by this rule.
In fact, it's a rule from the "solo variant".
If you play with others, there will only be 3 possible pairs "number-action".

Not only, that's also the rule in the expert mode.

Thanks for all the insights!
