Hi Chad,
Just to follow up, I recently downloaded the game onto my laptop--a Microsoft Surface Book--and it's running just fine. Placing field cards works without a problem! The laptop is not optimized for gaming, so my mouse drags a bit, but if I switch to Tablet mode and use the touch screen, the game is perfectly playable.
Thanks again for looking into the bug. If it's not resolved at this point, that's okay, since I am now able to play the game.
Cheers,
Jennifer
