Call for Judgment: Correctly end the turn

Unpopular, 0-5. Failed by JonathanDark.

Uphold Bera’s “End a Turn” action on 12 February 2025.

Bera performed the End of Turn action without performing the Mandatory Turn Action of moving a token. That was illegal, and it means that all further Turn Actions since then have also been illegal because we were mistaken about the Turn Order. I don’t, however, think it makes sense to revert the game a couple of days because nobody caught the illegal action at the time – let’s just uphold and move on.

I don’t think this was illegal:

If the Current Meeple does not have any Mandatory Turn Actions available to them, or if they have not yet taken any Turn Actions since their turn last began, then they may End a Turn.

The “or” is what allowed Bera to not take any Turn Actions and simply end their turn.

against as there’s nothing to uphold (but in truth it’s harmless as well)

against Ah, OK. I did miss that rule. (Perhaps this is a good argument to not use misleading wording, like “mandatory” for something that isn’t mandatory.)
