Re: [Rails-devel] 1856 rules error on forced purchases

[Erik V. <eri...@xs...>]

I have ignored this aspect thus far.  All games currently follow the 1830

AFAIK this does not prohibit valid play, so going into this level of detail
has not had a high priority until now. But I'll agree that it has to be done
one day.
