    Thank you. Not a native english speaker here, things like pronouns are often a headache to me. In spanish phone is a male substantive, that’s where the “his” come from.

      Yeah all good friend. I commend your efforts in using a non-native language!

      I had the good fortune to grow up with English, so never judge someone for making a mistake (and can relate with my German grammar, which is pretty bad, despite growing up with that too!)

      I’ve seen this particular error often because German boardgames often are translated wrong, where they use “he” for “the player”.

      Have a nice evening!
