even though I didnt change anything at all... suddenly they work now...
So i've been going through again making sure I can get them, it was not fun going around in circles on the boardgame section to get a 5 rock card to tie with a boulder.
the 6 region was also broken, so i fixed that too, (it was giving go right as an option)
you can now successfully get the "you know what you did" achievement, that one was genuinely impossible because it wouldnt let you push the thing where it needs to go.
