N/A

Or, when hovering over or clicking on an ineligible card, a popup such as, "You have selected too many resources to buy/conquer this card."

An Example of when it might be useful:

Scenario A
I Gain 2 power from 2 sources giving you 4 power (but minimum 3)

Scenario B
I gain 1 power from 1 source and 3 from a second source, also giving 4 power (but minimum of 2)

Now say I wanted to buy a location for 4 power but also had a location I wanted to raise for an extra 2 power.

In scenario B I could both raise the location and buy the 4 power card. But without knowing the minimum it would not be immediately obvious without tracking things in my head and potentially having to restart my turn. Not a big deal in these scenarios but sometimes you have several sources of payment that can be hard to track.

When playing a character that uses coins or power, it shows at the top of the screen how many coins or power are available; and, the cards that can possibly be obtained are lit up. Cards unattainable are grayed out.


If a Manta or location is used to increase the coins or power, it shows the new total at the top, and it will change which cards are lit up and grayed out.

Is that still not sufficient?

I can see how a new player might be confused as to why some characters might be grayed out of 5 coins are available, but that falls under the category of "understanding the rules", and would probably be well understood after playing 1 or 2 games?
