MISFORTUNATE UPDATE - Steam Build 25025473

This update improves several Special Item interactions, expands when key Items can be used during a turn, and streamlines a number of Context Panel choices.

Special Item Improvements

BOULDER

• BOULDER is now placed immediately on your current space when activated.
• Removed the unnecessary placement confirmation prompt.
• When another player encounters your BOULDER, the decision is now presented directly in the Context Panel.
• BOULDER owners now have two clear choices:
  • STOP THE PLAYER
  • LET PLAYER PASS

• Removed the unnecessary Cancel - Keep Item option from BOULDER decisions.

FLY

• FLY can now be activated from the USE ITEM menu.
• FLY is now available throughout your turn whenever Item use is valid, rather than only before rolling.
• FLY can be used from additional turn and landing states, making it much easier to use at the moment you need it.
• Improved FLY movement handling when used during an active landing interaction.

GOLD WISH

• GOLD WISH can now be accessed from the USE ITEM menu throughout your turn whenever Item use is valid.
• GOLD WISH can now be activated during additional landing and action states.
• The Cancel option is now displayed directly in the GOLD WISH Context Panel instead of appearing through a separate interaction.

FLAG Improvements

• REST is now available as a normal option when FLAG can optionally be used on a landing.
• Choosing REST simply skips using FLAG and continues with the normal REST action, allowing you to keep the FLAG for later.

USE ITEM Menu Improvements

The USE ITEM menu is now available in more parts of your turn when eligible Items are available, including:

• Before rolling
• After movement / before ending your turn
• During eligible landing choices
• During Portal REST choices
• During eligible doubles interactions

This should make Special Items feel much more accessible without requiring you to open your inventory at exactly the right phase.

Stability

• Expanded regression coverage around BOULDER, FLY, GOLD WISH, FLAG and Context Panel interactions.
• Added additional safeguards to help keep Item activation and board interactions consistent across different turn states.
