Right, it's a feature. Now, I'm also seeing the green border on the Action card in the screenshot.  :o
Maybe I missed it, because the border is less prominent than on MF.

By the way, being able to click a copper in the shown discard pile instead of (in addition to) a button to take it, would be faster for me. (less way to cover with mouse and bigger to hit)

I would prefer being able to click a treasure directly after playing Plaza to discard it. So I would make both Action cards and Treasures being clickable. Treasures could have a different border color to not confuse discarding with playing in the buy phase. (If there was no action card left in hand, one would have to click "end action" though, if one doesn't want to discard to Plaza.)

They don't always allow you not to take the Copper / Settlers. My guess at the moment is that you don't get the option to decline, if there's another Action card in your hand.

In the log, Settlers says "puts a card into his hand."
"a Copper" instead of card would be better.

It also reveals, at how many cards in the discard pile the opponent looks, which strictly speaking it shouldn't.

If you topdeck more cards with Scheme the order matters.

In my turn with Alchemists in play, when I used Counterfeit to trash my potion, I got stuck after the buying phase. I was asked to "select cleanup abilities", but there was nothing to select (and there shouldn't have been as I didn't have a potion in play).

Some turns later on in that game (I used undo and didn't trash the potion), I was suddenly kicked out with a black screen and I couldn't reconnect - I just ended up in the lobby after refreshing and logging in. Not sure whether this is related.

On that screen, I also have the problem that the scrollbar on the right is too thin and hard to hit. For some width of the window, the scrollbar is even overlayed by the swirls image on the right. (Firefox, Windows 10)

Maybe "exchange all" and "exchange none" would also be good options.

I noticed that the auto-buy feature doesn't work, if the money comes from Fool's Gold - does it only work with basic treasures? I don't see why you wouldn't want that to work with Fool's Gold or Cache, for example.


On many boards, it would even be innocuous to allow auto-buy with 2 or more buys or to play additional treasures to repay debt afterwards. But I can see that it would first be difficult to get the exceptions right and second often confusing for the player, why it doesn't work in a specific situation - so there would have to be an easy way to undo the auto-buy.

Regarding the stacking of cards, I guess it should be optional as on MF. I'm used to not auto-stacking them, but I'm probbaly getting convinced now that stacking is better. And when I have to adjust to a new interface anyway, I might as well adjust to this.  ;)

What bothers me a bit currently, is that drawing new cards will shift the cards in your hand. So when I want to quickly play say my 3 copies of Treasury, I have to be careful that I don't end up playing a different card the second or third time. One way to fix this, would be to not shift the other copies of the card that was played last. The hand might look less nice because the cards are not evenly distributed anymore...but it might be worth a try.

You can pay it off, but you have to play the treasures first. If you take the short cut of clicking the debt card, it will only play as many treasures as needed to get the coins for the debt card. So you don't have any coins to pay off debt afterwards.

More generally, I expect to eventually see my / other players durations in play and reserve mat, native village mat etc.

I would also like to have a different color for low piles again. Or even a transition of colors (brightness?) from 10 to 1.

With Haggle and Hoard in play, upon buying provinces the log (correctly) gave the choice which of the two to resolve first. But Hoard's gold gain shows up as "gain_by_name".

The log also doesn't say, when / how many coin tokens were spent.
