The developer (Stef) looked it up and said the discount was applied. The second payment cost more than the first, true, but that's a reflection of the number of cards added by it (that is, more than the Core sub).

But since there is still a small additional cost involved this way (fees, the per card costs are slighty different to get 'round' monthly prices) you now have an additional month of the sub.

Done!

I'll check with the developer to see what happened. Normally the second purchase should have taken the first purchase into account. What method did you use for the payments? You can answer by direct message to me if you want the conversation private.

[until]

Assuming your in-game name is bigredtek, the database says you had the Core subscription until early October 2023, not since that time.

When was the last time you had access to the Core cards?

That's another known case; if the bot has Coffers it doesn't know to "answer" the question if to convert them.

I guess it was deliberate, some players try this on unsuspecting opponents. When an opponent asks for an undo, always check where they want to undo to. This is indicated in the log to your right by a yellow border. In the benign example below, it means they want to undo buying the Inn.



Normally players want to undo 1 or 2 steps, sometimes to the end of their turn (you can also see the number steps they want to undo in box that asks you to grant or deny the undo). If it's for many more steps (like 20+), and you can't see in the log where it would lead to, deny the undo or ask them in chat what they want to do.

You can change the ratio that the game log and game chat have on the right hand side by dragging the dividing line up or down (not sure if/how that works on mobile). That includes hiding the whole chat.

If the undo happens when your opponent has to do something (like they played a card but want to undo it), you can simply ignore it. If you have to do something (e.g. they forgot to buy something and ended their turn and want to undo to that point while you decide what cards to play in your turn) you have to respond at some time :-(

Thanks for the screenshot, but in that situation that is what is supposed to happen.

Prince reads:

You may set aside (on this) a non-Duration non-Command Action card **from your hand** costing up to $4.
At the start of each of your turns, play that card, leaving it set aside.

When you played Prince, you only had Treasure cards left in your hand (Silver, 2x Gold), so you could not set aside an Action card at all (let alone a non-Duration non-Command Action card costing up to $4). In this turn, you drew the Prince late, with only a Haggler in hand at that time, and since it costs $5, you also couldn't have played it with Prince. So on this turn, Prince couldn't do you any good, if you played it or not.

Do you have a game number for that game? If not, could you send me your in-game name (maybe via direct message here), then I can have a look myself.

The behviour you saw was correct.

Ultimately it boils down to the fact that when you play any Reaction card that draws you cards (like Mapmaker oder Diplomat) in then physical card game, any opponent has generally no way of knowing if the second copy was in your hand initially or if you just drew it.

It could be handled as you suggest in a digital game, but since the digital is supposed to run using the pyhsical card game's rules, it follows those.

It's a very longstanding rule/ruling, going back to a card from Intrigue's first edition, Secret Chamber:

You may reveal the same Secret Chamber multiple times when reacting to an Attack; for example, in response to an attack, you could reveal Secret Chamber, draw a Moat and a Copper off the top of your deck, put back two coppers, reveal the Moat to be unaffected by the attack, and then reveal Secret Chamber again to put either the Moat or the Secret Chamber back on top of your deck.

Done!

I sent you a direct message with some questions. With the answers I can change your account name, no need to make a new one :-)

Done!

Is this a new computer or (guessing from your modem descriptions) a new network setup? On a new computer, using Chrome may work better than Firefox.

The relevant part of Animal Fair reads:

Instead of paying this card's cost, you may trash an Action card from your hand.

You cannot pay a card's cost at any time just because you want to. In fact, the only time you pay a card's cost is when you are buying it. So what you suggested as a rewording is already true, the only time the quoted part is relevant is when you are in the process of buying Animal Fair.

That means what you did was buying an Animal Fair (not paying the card's cost but doing something else instead), so the game saw you buying a card, which correctly made opponent's Haunted Woods trigger.
