Report history
During Winter, none of these green meeples has been taken from the bag (only 2 players got meeples during winter and none were green), however 20 green meeples were used during this season (13 to score, and 4+3 to bid).
The total of green meeples is then 22 (2 in the bag, 20 in hands or on the table)
boardgamearena.com/bug?id=4948
In that bug, they are complaining that the game should tell them how many green workers are left available, because they don't like it if they activate a production tile and don't get the green worker they expected. So that certainly sounds like the game is enforcing some kind of limit.
I have two theories here:
1) The game is only enforcing the 20 green meeple limit in terms of what players have (and maybe also what is out in play, on or around tiles).
2) The game allows green worker production tiles to take green workers from the bag if none are left in the supply.
Either of these behaviors is wrong, of course, but it could explain why one bug complains that the 20 green worker limit is being violated while another bug wants green worker totals displayed because they dislike unexpectedly not receiving green workers from a production tile.
There are 25 stone visible (20 + 3 + 1 + 1) when the game only ships with 24, and these resources are also explicitly component-limited in the rulebook. Being able to lock down a resource like this is sometimes important for capping the strength of any of the fall put-thing-on-hex tiles or the winter tile that gives 5 points for each 1-of-each set. So my assumption is that the game isn't enforcing any component limits at all, though that would make bug 4948 hard to account for.
