Upcoming update: changes to buchanan's interaction with the contract port
Posted: 15 August 2025, 17:28
Hello everyone,
In the next release the following interaction will change for Buchanan, if in a single turn you:
- Use a port to trigger the building bonus and take one contract out of the 6.
- Take a second contract from the board as the main action.
Currently: the gold cost/gain, depending on the round, happens once.
In the next release, it will happen twice.
Buchanan's reduction for multiple contracts should only work if it's done during the same action, and not through the whole turn. This was confirmed by the publisher, see https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/199991 ... 2#46346902 .
The next release will also include a fix for https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=13455 : "Could not use bonuses from Fullfilling first contract to fullfill second (Buchanan)".
The fixes are waiting to be reviewed, I'll post another message here when the patch is live. It will impact ongoing games!
