Yellow & Yangtze
Through The Ages

Yeah, order does not matter.

@Codington How about an undo for Puerto Rico? Thereā€™s no way I tapped on that cornā€¦ At least I havenā€™t accidentally built the wrong building yet trying to scroll through the buildings!

@Hardco funny you should ask - I was David trying to take on Goliath with Ravensburger about undo. Itā€™s in every other Codito game but not PR because they didnā€™t want it.

Not the only time they made a decision that I disagreed with and of course think I was proven right in the end. (cough iPhone version cough :wink:)

In any case, not only did they eventually buy me out, they have since taken the game off the App Store entirely (:cry:) so thereā€™s literally nothing I can do about, Iā€™m afraid.

The building scrolling is totally on me though. :stuck_out_tongue: But still nothing I can do about it now, other than to pass on the ā€œpro tipā€ of opening the side panel and scrolling via the added text part of the panel.

The joy of PR is the plan ahead in your mind for what everyone is going to do. So itā€™s just a bit frustrating when over multiple days you go ā€œIā€™m going to this, then he is going to do this, and everything will be greatā€¦ Hey, how come I only have 2 bucks?ā€ :rofl:

Totally get it and my apologies!

One other tip that not everyone knows about is that you can use the slightly wider spaced resource area on the left side (under the Trading House) to pick resources for selling and for shippingā€¦ :slight_smile:

What happens if you force close the app after you make a mistake? I donā€™t remember if thereā€™s an end turn button in PR, so I donā€™t know your turn gets uploaded

My recollection is that only re-distributing colonists during the Mayor role has a confirmation button. Otherwise, your turn ends and is submitted as soon as you tap.

(Note that all of this only pertains to online games - local play has an undo and configurable option to confirm your turn. For whatever reason, Rav felt that those should not be available in online games.)

I was going to let it lie, but this must be a screen-scaling thing with 11ā€ iPad Pro. Both times Iā€™ve tapped the resources under the trading house, and both times it registered sugar as corn. Iā€™m not making excuses for my imminent loss here (Iā€™d have still lost the race for the Guild Hall), but it is frustrating. Maybe Iā€™ll do some testing against the AI to see if I just have fat fingersā€¦

Ooh yeahā€¦ that could be a thing, since the app hasnā€™t been updated in who knows how long, but I canā€™t say for sure.

Let us know what you find out in solo mode - Iā€™m sure there are others with various form factor devices who would appreciate knowing - and make sure you try both places where the resources are displayed for tapping, just in case.

After some testing, thereā€™s no issue with the resources on the right side, but on the left side I need to tap a whole row lower. Not that anything can be done about it, but itā€™s good to know!

And like that we have a new King of the Hill.

@Mirefox you are the new challenger. Please take a look at @Codington list and let us know what the next challenge game will be.

@Hardco and @JMH.75 you are able to change any games on your list at this time.

I like your lost @Codington

I challenge you to Concordia!

(Iā€™m doomed)

Great, @JammaTal is the next person with Concordia on their list, so they will be the 3rd. @Mirefox please send a challenge to @Codington and @JammaTal.

@JammaTal @Codington

Please just confirm that your Acram names are, indeed JammaTal and Codington. Iā€™ve found both and added as friends so I can get this one running quickly if those are the right accounts.

Thanks @Hardco and @JMH.75 - I figured it would be close as it was a well played game all around (UI issues notwithstanding!)

Iā€™m happy to have proven that @kennfusionā€™s faith in me was founded ( :wink: ) and we shall see if I can manage to stay King of the Hill for even one more game! :stuck_out_tongue:

@Mirefox - I am indeed codington for Acram games - looking forward to Concordia!

Good game everyone! I usually like to rush the end of the game by flooding the colonist ship, but the game still ended faster than I expected. The biggest mistake I thought I made (beyond UI issues) was building a Large Sugar Mill when I only needed the Small. Between that and the UI issues I ended up with less cash on hand than Iā€™d have liked.

I think @JMH.75 had a shot if he bought Guild Hall rather than Wharf with 9 colonists left in the pool. It didnā€™t seem like there was enough game left for Wharf to pay off.

I forgot how Acram games work; I donā€™t send invites, just create a private room.

Look for Mirefoxā€™s Game and password is SP

Iā€™ve not created a game of Concordia before and there were a couple options. I just left everything at the default.
