It seems like I can’t trigger the Matcha domain with the Gardener card that activates an entire row on your board
Just to clarify the rules for White Castle Matcha:
If I use the Gardener card to activate an entire row on my board, should that also trigger the Matcha domain? Or is the Matcha domain only activated when I trigger it directly?

That works as intended. If you look closely at the icon of that garden card it whill only show the red, white and black dice. And NOT the green dice. This is also explained in the Matcha rulebook.

Unfortunately not, the expansion is ready for release from my perspective, but BGA has yet to put it on the release schedule.

Is there any place to vote that it's ready, or do expansions not work like that?
