Me too. Most of the time my board gets “full” of Mg24. It makes the game more interesting. It’s a pity that it’s only a missing entry in the game table and not a real nuclear phenomenon.

Be glad: If it were easier to get stuck in Magnesium, stellar evolution would be very different, and our beaches would be made of magnesium (and our oceans full of Magnesium salts).

Higher elements would still be formed, by the occasional fissioning of Mg by fast alphas/neutrons, but it would change observed nuclear abundances considerably.
