While translating the BGA rules, I came across some texts that puzzled me.

There are two DIFFERENT resources, which are named as „cloth“ and „fabric“ here – pretty much the SAME thing. Unfortunately, the rulebook doesn‘t specify the names of the resources. But I have seen a video in which the resource produced with the cow (here referred to as „fabric“) was called „leather“, which seems appropriate to me. Anyway, to reduce confusion, it would be helpful to clearly distinguish the meaning of these two resources.

Furthermore, the rulebook tells about two clearly distinguished actions during player action phase: produce or trade. In the PRODUCE action, you use your RESOURCES (to get 1 card), whereas in your TRADE action, you use your COINS (to get 1 or more cards). The rulebook emphasizes: "Important! Coins are not Resources, so the Coin cost shown at the bottom of a card can only be paid when taking the Trade action, not the Produce action." However, the BGA rules state that you should "TRADE with your RESOURCES". This makes it difficult to clearly distinguish between the two actions and can therefore be confusing for players and be difficult to translate properly.
