Rules: a rule of the game has not been followed
Detailed description
• Which part of the rules was not followed by the BGA adaptation?
3 assistants + President on laboratory. The technology I want to acquire costs 3 gears + 1 (it's in the middle). The right side does say I have 4 gear yet it asks me to buy a 4th technology. Even if I choose the 2 yens option it doesn't register it. Only the "use one import" option triggers a technology (the 5th actually) and allows the acquisition.• Is the rules violation visible on game replay? If yes, at which move number?
I cancelled the move and did another action.• Which browser are you using?
Google Chrome v94
