When Highwayman is played, and the victim's Buy phase begins the treasures change to reinforce that the first one played will do nothing.

However I'm finding this makes it almost impossible to play - sure, the name of the treasure is there, but somewhere between my visual thinking and some sort of mental processing issue this slows me down to a crawl - I have to stop, carefully read the card titles and then think about which to play first, "Aargh what? Which one is copper now?" It's possible, but it's horrible!

I appreciate the visual reminder that the treasures are behaving differently, but it's too much - the ugly black box blocking out the value looks like a glitch, and the complete change of artwork and colour short circuits something in my silly brain and I just can't process what I'm seeing.

I've checked this in Safari - my default browser - and in Chrome, and because it's in both I'm guessing it's a deliberate choice rather than a glitch?

Pleeeeeeease can this be changed - if at least the treasures retained the top half of their artwork and - crucially - colour it'd help immeasurably! Maybe the card text could be crossed out rather than blocked out? A change to the card, rather than something that looks like a totally different card...

An autoplay option for highwayman along the lines of "check before discarding better treasures" might be good too?

Thanks

Ah thanks - missed that!

Seconded!

I've found that some games play fast - the cards are more straightforward... but others involve lots of interaction, responses from the other player and careful choices - so I'd be hard pressed to feel like 20 mins was enough time in all cases. A voluntary "timed match" option might be nice, with a choice of total move time and an option to extend by mutual agreement?

That's cleared up most of what I was going to ask - but is there supposed to be a token on the pile of the set aside card? that would help - a big "I" maybe? I know there are tokens for +1 action etc that appear on the piles in question...

I suspect this isn't so much a bug as a counterintuitive behavior, but...

In a game with Inheritance I inherited an Aristocrat - expecting the Estates to now mimic Aristocrats. Instead it was confusing at first:
- I played an Estate - nothing happened except I now had no actions!
- On another turn I played an Aristocrat - +3 actions - then an Estate - but rather than give +3 cards as I'd expected I got another +3 actions
- if I managed two actual aristocrats then further estates would keep giving +3 cards which eventually won me the game! So, Yay.

What I worked out was that the aristocrat text of "if you have X aristocrats in play" does not treat Estates as actual aristocrats in play, but will instead reproduce the rewards of the number of ACTUAL aristocrats in play. Logical once I worked it out, but a little ambiguous and very confusing at first.

Still love inheritance... :)

Hello, just finished a game with Divine Wind, Defiled Shrine and Temple.

All was well until the Prophecy triggered (as is so often the case ;)

After the Divine Wind kicked in and changed the Kingdom Cards all the remaining VP tokens set up by Defiled Shrine were no longer visible. Also tokens placed on Temple (one of the second set of Kingdom cards) did not show up.

The game still "saw" them, as they would be gained as usual by buying a new temple.

My opponent and I were both using the Safari browser, and neither of us could see the tokens.

Lastly when the last province was bought the game end didn't trigger - I still showed as having Buys but couldn't buy anything or end buys - the cards didn't have the "plus" to show them as buyable. I refreshed the page and came back to the search screen.

Two bugs in one? Or something related?

Cheers!

Screenshots attached.

I'm just back to playing after a while and the Hamlet interface has been terribly confusing. What was the problem with the "both" button? I've fallen foul of clicking "buy" and wondering why I couldn't then discard for action many times. Having to click "action" first is NOT at all clear and this change has made the interface worse surely. fewer buttons at the cost of clarity of function isn't a good trade off I'd say.

Anyway, now I know how it works. I just need to remember that next time.

Latest AFAIK - v15.5. It's a MacBook Pro 16" 2021 running MacOS 12.4

Thanks

Still happening - Screenshot attached - game ID 103710745 in Ohio - started that just now with a bot

Thanks

I've a workaround - resize the safari window much smaller, then drag it out to normal size - this seems to force a redraw of the page and updates the counts.

Still be nice for a fix to come though!

Same here - tried safari, Firefox, Chrome and also the "private window / kick and resign" thing - nothing works.

+50 to the https thing too. Kind of shocking that this site doesn't have that yet.

Also no joy in Firefox.


Might try Netscape...

Hello,

just renewed my subscription and dismayed to be unable to use it - cannot get the login button to respond, and the incognito window / kick and resign fix doesn't work either.

I've tried Chrome and safari...

Heyulp!

Post game chat seems to be gone entirely now?
I also have had a few accidental clicks of "end buys" in its new position which is very frustrating.
