trier privelege: does it count for card colors?

[astroglide]

i just used the trier privelege to take an "invisible" move action, but it didn't add use of a blue card. i'm not sure if it's supposed to or not.

Did you have sufficient funds as you still need to pay for the action card.

Do not dare to start another rule argument! :).
I'm sure I have read somewhere that you take the action but not the card. Otherwise you should take away the card from an opponent because in the real game you can't generate cards at will like here (I have played a game with 4 cities and 8 aristocrats of the same color :)).

The player may, in phase IV, use an action card that is normally used in phase IV, but is no longer available. He takes the action as though the card was available to take, including paying for it.

"Take the action as if the card were there to take"

Doesn'tt hat sound like you'd take the card, as if it were there to take, you'd take it..?

IIRC there's an explicit reference that the Trier privilege doesn't impact your descendants. In other words, you take the action but not the card. The MaBi web implementation is in line with that.
