Detailed description

• Please describe the display issue. If you have a screenshot of this bug (good practice), you can use Imgur.com to upload it and copy/paste the link here.
I wanted to use the Binoculars (which allows me to use any {} site). When clicking on it, it also highlights the sites in the bottom (tent) area. When clicking on any of the tent sites, it shows error "Unexpected error: BGA service error (2.boardgamearena.com 01/04 12:43:08)" (red bar shows up, plus notification in the game log. I assume it might be against the rules to use the tents, but then it would be good to not highlight those tent sites.

Move 51, refresh didn't solve the problem.

Same has been happening in some games with me. Binoculars, Ostrich and Turtle occasionally have this issue. It'll let you draw but then not be able to place a worker.

I had this issue but the card worked once you defeat a guardian there and can take the resources at that space.

I am getting a similar error when I attempt to use the binoculars and select a level II monster site:
Unexpected error: BGA service error (9.boardgamearena.com 14/09 20:40:36) on table 201652705

At first I got this when the site was occupied, but even unoccupied I am getting the same error. This is something that should be allowed. I refreshed and exited and went back in several times and got the same error.

Opps, I just noticed it was any level I site on the card text, so the issue is not that I should be able to select the level II site, just that it highlights and allows me to select the site.

The Binoculars card cannot be played if there is not any discovered level 1 site. When this card is played, only level 1 sites should be highlighted.
