Hello! I've never played this before and am trying the learn-as-you-go approach but have stumbled across a slight problem. how the heck do you play a land tile or animal on the board? I know this is probably something very simple and I'm going to look like a moron for reading the rules 5 times and still not being able to figure it out. Embarassed

Here's what I would do at the start of my turn:
1. Click on land tile or animal.
2. Board refreshes and I click the board on the space to match the land tile (or the animal on an open pampas space).
3. Nothing happens. Confused

I'm not even sure if that's a good move, I just wanted to try something
different. So I ended up just buying 3 animals. Please help. Gracias!

above the map is your inventory of land and animals
click on a circle (the number tells you how many you have)
then click on a circle that has appeared on the map and the
animal or land will be placed in that hex

Thanks Bob. That is what I tried to do, but it wouldn't work. I will try it again on my next turn and let you know if I'm still having issues.

What OS, what browser and what version of both?

Hmm. Everything is working fine from my home computer. Either I was doing something incorrectly or I missed a rule somewhere along the way.

I figured out what was wrong. I tried to play a pampas Land Card as my first action and for some reason that is not allowed. Maybe that should be added to the rules. Thanks.

Pampas has to be played next to an already started land chain. I will add it to the rules here online.

You can't play a Pampas card without it being "anchored" to some other land type. In other words, a Pampas can't be the first land in a chain.

We'll add a note to the INFO box stating that there's no valid place to play your Pampas in such a scenario.

Thanks for the clarification.

I wonder if someone could also answer another question for me that I could not find in the rules...

When I go to place a hacienda on a land chain (I believe it was a chain of 5-6) it only gives me certain spaces where I can play it. Why is that? And does that even matter to my strategy or is it a moot point?
