Expired offers: Trade X-1 + trade agreement How is it implemented?

Post by shouldntbehere »

Hi,
For my current game I am wondering: What happens ifthe proposed deal content is no longer available?
Say, I offer a player x-1 from trade, they accept.
They should give me their commodities and I give them mine (or trade goods). If trade agreement snags away the refreshed commodities, how does the deal play out?

Same for I offer my promissory for a tg to two players. First one accepts--> promissory is gone
Then the other player accepts 5 seconds later - does it resolve with both players handing me 1 tg? Or is the second deal not possible to be resolved and therefore canceled?

Thank you

Good questions. If I recall correctly, the replenish happens and then the X-1 swap does not happen because the Trade Agreement card interrupted. The X-1 system is a publisher-approved optional convenience for players who want the Trade strategy card to work more quickly, so mixing it with the Trade Agreement promissory note can lead to unexpected outcomes like this. It is best not to offer X-1 if you believe a player has given away their Trade Agreement.

Secondly, a deal cannot resolve if the requirements are missing. So the first player to take the deal gets it, and the second player cannot accept.
