move 99-100-101- I canceled the move because did not know how to get out of the situation.

although I go back again to the same site, on a later turn, after having used my assistant.

Same thing on firefox.

Oct 11th 2021 07:11 • getdafunkout • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:

Same situation and problem.

Oct 19th 2021 10:58 • diamant • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:

"You may refresh" means that the player may ignore the idol effect: the implementation does not offer this possibility.

it happened to me as well. Chrome.

Table 234511548
Move 164

Playing Sea turtle
Drawn card
Going to a site with an assistant refresh
No assistants are used so cannot be refreshed.
No assistants are instant actions, so cannot be used at this step.
But also cannot pass on refreshing an assistant

Ended up having to go to a different location

Feb 4th 2022 09:05 • CatPionDe3 • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:

Same problem as described

Feb 21st 2022 11:22 • Stephane Francois • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:

Same Problem, exactly as described. I got kicked out of game and lost reputation as a consequence, is it possible to get my 10% back, would be much appreciated ^^

Mar 16th 2022 15:19 • Jonny V • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:

Same here!
game #250689065
When discovering a new site with the idol “Refresh an assistant” but don’t have an assistant on my board yet (or have one but not used yet)
using Google Chrome.

Jun 14th 2022 20:01 • PurpleMoose • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:

Same problem as before. Tried refreshing and using multiple devices but no way to move forward without refreshing an assistant, and I can't.

Aug 13th 2022 17:47 • Annare90 • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:

f5 non ha risolto il problema si bloccava sempre amche cambiando dispositivo

Nov 1st 2022 17:25 • Tooley • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:

Same thing happens to me on safari and chrome on both mobile and desktop.

Feb 25th 2023 18:00 • warhamster13 • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:

Yes, I couldn't use the assistant because it required a coin I didn't have. So it wasn't exhausted and the game wouldn't let me move on without "refreshing it"

Mar 21st 2023 23:28 • saro5 • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:

It happened in my game to. Ramachaku could not discover site because he couldn't use his assistant. Please fix! :) Thank you

Table 375355416
Same problem.. I discovered a site but I don't want to refresh an assistant... interface says "You MAY refresh an assistant", but there's no option to skip!

Can't believe this is still a bug in 2023 having been reported 2 years ago.

Jul 12th 2023 14:20 • Maspital • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:

Yup, also had my game demolished because of this. It seems like an easy bug to fix, I do not understand why it is still there. For the record, I had the assistant that gives you a discount of 1/2 when buying something, which I could not do. Therefore, I was blocked from discovering that space

Jul 12th 2023 21:16 • Tokka • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:

Same here. Everything else has already been said.. ;) So, now that I have added to the report too there must be a reaction.. right?

Sep 19th 2023 12:03 • danielvictor • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:

Table #416230629
Move #249
Progression 73%
I want to visit a new site,using my aeroplane.I clicked on the site,but it had a bonus of refreshing an assistant.My only assistant was the one that allows you to buy items at a discount as a slow action.I couldn't afford any of the items even with the discount.I hadn't used the assistant and couldn't use it/him.The interface won't give me the option of ignoring the bonus,so I am stuck unable to proceed.

Nov 13th 2023 17:32 • Ray_of_Light • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:

This happened on my table #438613491

It says:

Unexpected error: This transition (assistantDiscard) is impossible at this state (16) (reference: GS6 13/11 17:30:36)

I'm on Mozilla Firefox.

Nov 19th 2023 19:33 • coolhandluke67 • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:

table=439332158
F5 did not solve the problem, I cannot do anything, no assistant to refresh and the site's Guardian has not been revealed, it's waiting on me to refresh an assistant. It says I "may refresh an assistant" but there's no option to skip if I don't want to or in this case incapable of doing. We may have to cancel the game at this point as this seems to be an unresolved issue. I'm running Firefox 119.0.1.

Jan 7th 2024 04:51 • runningfoodie • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:

Table 458944872 move 168, the player in question wasn't not given the option to skip the refresh on an idol.

Jan 28th 2024 22:19 • warhamster13 • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:

It won't let me skip refreshing the assistant and so I'd either have to pass or do something that wouldn't make sense gamewise

Dec 22nd 2024 07:11 • Snugglie • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:

Exact same problem as described. I was forced to play a different move.

Feb 2nd 2025 08:33 • firebird3 • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:

I also had the same situation.
Please display "Skip". For assistants who cannot be used immediately.

Aug 10th 2025 21:34 • JaceW • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:

I had exactly the same situation as described, with the same assistant when I didn't have a coin. I was trying to explore a new site on the top row and couldn't progress since the game was forcing me to refresh an assistant when that wasn't possible. I ended up changing to a much less strong move, likely costing me the game. Very frustrating.

Sep 8th 2025 10:52 • danielvictor • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:

Same thing on chrome.Table no 724744795 Move #153
Needed to discover a new site. Site bonus was 'refresh an assistant'.My only assistant was the one that gives you a discount on buying as a slow-action.I couldn't afford to risk taking that action,as by my next turn the site would have been discovered by someone else. That was the only site I had the resources to discover.When I went to the site,the interface instructed me to refresh an assistant,and didn't give me the option of passing.I did try clicking on the assistant,and attempting to buy something using the discount,but the interface wouldn't allow me to proceed as it's a slow-action.
I need to discover the new site,as I need the idol to proceed on the snake temple.

Sep 8th 2025 11:13 • danielvictor • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:

Sorry,correction,it was move #154

Sep 10th 2025 00:41 • danielvictor • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:

I eventualy did an undo,and used an item card to visit a different site.
