' 'Each time you use a __Lessons__ action space, you can play 1 additional occupation for an occupation cost of 2 <FOOD>.'
'
It clearly states: play one additional, which means one more... Not sure how you can play an additional occupation first. That's like going to a restaurant and getting an additional dessert first somehow? The word additional clearly indicates you play an occupation After not before. Other cards also state 'before doing x' just like additional implies afterwards
Cards specifying "before doing X" are completely different, they are usually about making possible taking the action eventhough you didnt had proper resources to take them in the first place.
Where is it "clearly written in the revised rulebook" that this is the case. I for sure cannot find it...
In my experience, if an effect is not states as "before" or "after", the player can choose the order.
If you insist on this bonkers interpretation, can you at the very least change the wording on the card? "Before each time you use a __Lessons__ action space, you can play 1 additional occupation for an occupation cost of 2" would be much clearer. Robin and me won't be the last ones getting fooled by this...
In the E-deck it's phrased:
"Whenever you use an "Occupation" Action, you may play 2 Occupations one after another. The second Occupation costs you 2 Food."
see this example sentence: Larger windows will require additional work, but the additional light they will provide may be worth the extra trouble.
You can't do "additional" work first, you have to do the regular amount of work first.
