Differences from the physical game

The points below play differently on BGA than at the table. Each one has been approved by the publisher.

Marker supply (50 pieces)

Rulebook (p. 37): your marker supply is limited to 50 pieces. If it is empty when you would gain markers from it, you may immediately replenish it by returning any number of markers from your console and continent. Statues, reset markers and markers on boats cannot be returned.

On BGA: the action is never interrupted. If your supply is empty, the marker is taken anyway and the action goes on to its end. At the end of the action, you return the extra markers one by one, chosen from your console or continent, with the same exclusions. « Undo » puts the last returned marker back where it was, « Confirm » completes the replenishment.

Why? Stopping the action halfway would cancel everything already done, including rolled dice and drawn cards, which could then be rolled or drawn again.

In phase 8.D, all players who are short of markers return them at the same time.

Prison (D17): the marker placed on the head of an imprisoned tribe may also be returned. The tribe is then freed without scoring points or money.
