Hi there,

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

MM

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

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:
