Re: 7 Wonders IV (Age 3 Hand 5)

Sorry for not catching that!

We have two options here --

1) Rewind back a turn, since it happened in hand 4. Have Ahoppy make a new selection, then if it affects anything in age 5, people can have a do-over if they'd like.

2) Just let it go, and have Ahoppy keep the duplicate. The science card was going to Tables, Michaeljb, and Qvist, none of whom was building science, so no one was being denied a card they really needed. Ahoppy gets another card which he shouldn't have, but ultimately, as he can't complete his second set, it's only worth 3 points to him.

Please voice which option you'd prefer -- I'll go with the one people view as most fair.
1). It's what we do if a mistake happens IRL.

I vote just keep playing.  I'm okay with it (But am okay with either option).

Well, I doubt ahoppy building something different might effect anyone but tables, and ahoppy won't use what we built as info. So, I think ahoppy builds something else from hand 3, and anyone can change their hand 4 build if they want. Not perfect, but simple and close enough.

I believe the official rule is that the card is discarded for 3 coins.

...spin-offs are still better for all of the previously cited reasons.
But not strictly better, because the spinoff can have a different cost than the expansion.

I believe the official rule is that the card is discarded for 3 coins.

Having actually looked things up both in the official rules and on BGG, this seems to be a common houserule, or the best interpretation of the rules in dealing with this awkward situation, take your pick. The rules say if you pick a card which you cannot build or cannot use to construct a wonder stage, you must discard it for 3 coins. And that can't build two identical structures. Which is... kind of about as close as it gets. I think the easiest and fairest way is forcing a 3 coin discard, possibly either that or a wonder stage.

I'll also send some extra details to TA about this situation I'd rather not note here (based on the hands I've seen since and other things).

hmmm, yeah, now I'm thinking discarding for 3 coins is the best course of action.

Ahoppy will discard the second Academy for 3 coins.

I'm really sorry that I missed the error initially, Ahoppy, but this is the fairest way to proceed for everyone. Turning back a turn would change too much with the new information.

Play on!

Whoops, that's my bad too. I should have noticed that sorry. I'm fine with the discard. No big deal

Ahh, I noticed that when it was first posted and I was checking on my phone, but then I forgot later.  Sorry as well (even though I am just a spectator).

Qvist only has two wonder stages completed, so he should only get 4 coins from Arena, not 6.

Edit: wait, I was thinking $2 each, not $3... my bad.  Carry on.

It's 3 per stage, not 2.

Correct me if I'm wrong TA, but I think I sent you my choice already.
