Error in rule setup
Posted: 27 January 2026, 03:49
So, I've seen two errors so far in the way that this game is set up on BGA.
1. The rulebook that is linked to help players states the game ends at 8 districts and there is an optional rule for a shorter game for 7 districts. But the rules on the game itself (like the shortened summarized version of the rules) states that game ends at 7 districts. The newest version of the game also has the game ending at 7 districts except for 2 and 3 player games which end at 8 districts. This could be confusing for players who are reading the rulebook prior to playing the game and not other referenced materials.
2. Character abilities can be played at any point during your turn, but BGA turn requires you to either draw cards or take gold first, then you can do your character ability or build a district. This weakens several character cards.
I hope I'm submitting this in the right place; if this is considered a bug, please let me know and I'll submit in the bug forum instead.
