A suggestion to help new players not get confused by bonuses
Posted: 19 December 2023, 22:20
Lots of new players seem to miss, or misunderstand, the bonus rules, and get confused. Of the 31 posts so for on this forum, 4 are from people who didn't understand how the bonus rules worked, and some of them thought it was just a bug and didn't realize they did something wrong. Also, when playing the game, I have frequently been asked by other players in the chat about this. Questions like why didn't I get a bonus from playing that card?
Some people don't remember that how you pay for a card determines if you get the bonus. Some people think the cards you pay have to match each other, not match the card being played. Some people think only one of the cards you pay has to match the card you're playing. Some people don't remember that when you get a bonus, the cards you play with it won't give you their own bonus or effects.
I posted a suggestion for a game feature that will help new players understand how bonuses work, in a way that they can't miss:
