Rules Questions / Grand Market - purchase order question
« on: September 14, 2015, 03:27:29 am »
First off, my apologies if the answer is elsewhere in these fora. I looked through all the posts first and couldn't find what I was looking for.
In a recent game, I had 2 buys and enough Gold, Silver and Copper to buy a Grand Market and a Province. Bearing in mind the no Copper rule for Grand Market, I bought that first with a Gold and 2 Silver and then attempted to buy a Province with Gold, Silver and 3 Copper.
My 2 opponents objected to the Grand Market purchase as I now had Copper in play. My argument that I didn't when I made the purchase didn't make a difference and rather than press it, I withdrew the Copper and bought a Duchy instead.
So, does the order of the purchases matter? Would using Copper in the 2nd buy, count against the initial Grand Market purchase?
