 |
|
I only had 2 food and still could choose 3 food rather than losing 5 books. I would have lost the point anyway to famine, this way losing only 4 books rather than 5
Is this a bug, at least it seems inconsistent as normally you cannot deliberately choose insufficient resource unless there was no other valid option. |

Game where this occurred is 72150
As a result I have two extra books there I am not entitled to. (Actually 1 at time of writing this, 2 after famine) |

According to this, its a bug. I should have lost 5 books automatically, then one more and vp during famine. |
Hmm... I realize this comes directly from the designer, but the faq he mentions is: You may not voluntarily spend more resources than you have and lose VP, this can only happen when you are forced to lose something.
I always interpreted it as "you can't spend resources you don't have", as in deploying a worker even without enough stone by paying books and 1 VP, or buying a card without gold.
This can only happen when you are forced to lose something, but in this case you are forced to lose something, you are not voluntarily spending it.
Also, what if you have neither enough food nor enough books? Can you choose? |

That’s exactly what I was wondering. Technically this can be also intepreted from rules that little ice age is NOT voluntary spending but forced use, which would result in clearer situation (something to add to faq++)
I suppose player choice in situation where both resources run out would be most logical though. |

I will ask Rustan if he can give us the definitive answer, and in case I will fix the bug.
Thanks for noticing and reporting this. |

| I see that Rustan replied to your question on BGG, confirmed as a bug then. |
