Detailed description

• Which was the game action you wanted to do?
I wanted to discover a new site. The idol on this site had the bonus 'refresh one assistant'. I had one assistant but my only assistant was up.
• What do you try to do to trigger this game action?
I discovered the new site.
• What happened when you try to do this (error message, game status bar message, ...)?
Game asked me 'you may refresh an assistant' and pause. The only option I can see on the top is UNDO. Because I dont see PASS I tried to click on my already refreshed assistant, but that click triggers the 'use assistant free action' which I could not used because one coin was required and did not have one *it was the pay one coin get an arrow* assistant.
So I could not find a way to move out of this. I tried to reload, also undo and cancel my move, and tried again but it happened again. So finally, I changed my move.
• What is your browser?
Google Chrome v90

move 99-100-101- I canceled the move because did not know how to get out of the situation.

although I go back again to the same site, on a later turn, after having used my assistant.

Same thing on firefox.

Same situation and problem.

"You may refresh" means that the player may ignore the idol effect: the implementation does not offer this possibility.

Table 234511548
Move 164

Playing Sea turtle
Drawn card
Going to a site with an assistant refresh
No assistants are used so cannot be refreshed.
No assistants are instant actions, so cannot be used at this step.
But also cannot pass on refreshing an assistant

Ended up having to go to a different location

Same Problem, exactly as described. I got kicked out of game and lost reputation as a consequence, is it possible to get my 10% back, would be much appreciated ^^

Same here!
game #250689065
When discovering a new site with the idol “Refresh an assistant” but don’t have an assistant on my board yet (or have one but not used yet)
using Google Chrome.

14. Jun 2022 20:01 • PurpleMoose • Bug has not been reproduced by delopers yet:

Same problem as before. Tried refreshing and using multiple devices but no way to move forward without refreshing an assistant, and I can't.

f5 non ha risolto il problema si bloccava sempre amche cambiando dispositivo

Same thing happens to me on safari and chrome on both mobile and desktop.

25. Feb 2023 18:00 • warhamster13 • Bug has not been reproduced by delopers yet:

Yes, I couldn't use the assistant because it required a coin I didn't have. So it wasn't exhausted and the game wouldn't let me move on without "refreshing it"

21. Mar 2023 23:28 • saro5 • Bug has not been reproduced by delopers yet:

It happened in my game to. Ramachaku could not discover site because he couldn't use his assistant. Please fix! :) Thank you

Table 375355416
Same problem.. I discovered a site but I don't want to refresh an assistant... interface says "You MAY refresh an assistant", but there's no option to skip!

Can't believe this is still a bug in 2023 having been reported 2 years ago.

12. Jul 2023 14:20 • Maspital • Bug has not been reproduced by delopers yet:

Yup, also had my game demolished because of this. It seems like an easy bug to fix, I do not understand why it is still there. For the record, I had the assistant that gives you a discount of 1/2 when buying something, which I could not do. Therefore, I was blocked from discovering that space

12. Jul 2023 21:16 • Tokka • Bug has not been reproduced by delopers yet:

Same here. Everything else has already been said.. ;) So, now that I have added to the report too there must be a reaction.. right?

Table #416230629
Move #249
Progression 73%
I want to visit a new site,using my aeroplane.I clicked on the site,but it had a bonus of refreshing an assistant.My only assistant was the one that allows you to buy items at a discount as a slow action.I couldn't afford any of the items even with the discount.I hadn't used the assistant and couldn't use it/him.The interface won't give me the option of ignoring the bonus,so I am stuck unable to proceed.

13. Nov 2023 17:32 • Ray_of_Light • Bug has not been reproduced by delopers yet:

This happened on my table #438613491

It says:

Unexpected error: This transition (assistantDiscard) is impossible at this state (16) (reference: GS6 13/11 17:30:36)

I'm on Mozilla Firefox.

table=439332158
F5 did not solve the problem, I cannot do anything, no assistant to refresh and the site's Guardian has not been revealed, it's waiting on me to refresh an assistant. It says I "may refresh an assistant" but there's no option to skip if I don't want to or in this case incapable of doing. We may have to cancel the game at this point as this seems to be an unresolved issue. I'm running Firefox 119.0.1.

7. Jan 2024 4:51 • runningfoodie • Bug has not been reproduced by delopers yet:

Table 458944872 move 168, the player in question wasn't not given the option to skip the refresh on an idol.

28. Jan 2024 22:19 • warhamster13 • Bug has not been reproduced by delopers yet:

It won't let me skip refreshing the assistant and so I'd either have to pass or do something that wouldn't make sense gamewise

22. Dec 2024 7:11 • Snugglie • Bug has not been reproduced by delopers yet:

Exact same problem as described. I was forced to play a different move.

2. Feb 2025 8:33 • firebird3 • Bug has not been reproduced by delopers yet:

I also had the same situation.
Please display "Skip". For assistants who cannot be used immediately.
