Finally realized I was supposed to join >_< The game has started, and woop-de-doo, I'm last. Tables is first in line.

Tables · « **Reply #26 on:** February 03, 2013, 07:23:09 pm »

Righty then. I have no idea what I'm doing.

Tables · « **Reply #27 on:** February 03, 2013, 07:37:39 pm »

Kuildeous, I'm done. No idea if that was a good first thing or not.

You seriously took 4 wood? That's the worst opening you can possible make. I think if you were looking for an equivalent Dominion opening, that would be Scout/Scout.

Tables · « **Reply #29 on:** February 03, 2013, 08:00:51 pm »

Pretty sure I could have done worse, taking 3 wood instead...

Watno · « **Reply #30 on:** February 03, 2013, 08:03:49 pm »

You don't know about the terrible "Fire" event that occurs after the first round and destroys a room of your hut if you have more than 3 wood?

Mhmm, ok, since that doesn't exist, I guess your move wasn't that bad.

Obviously you should have taken Fishing for 1 Food. You need Food to feed your family at the Harvest!!

sparky5856 · « **Reply #32 on:** February 03, 2013, 09:18:19 pm »

Fishing? There are better options for your first action, such as house building and/or stables building.

Aw, that was my move. *sad panda*

Davio is up next.

One thing about the site's interface is you have to press "End Turn" to actually commit the action and end your turn. On the bright side, you can undo your action if you misclick or have instant regret for any reason.

(subtly hinting that it's still Kuildeous's turn until he presses "End Turn")

Davio · « **Reply #35 on:** February 04, 2013, 01:49:46 am »

Yeah, it still says it's Kuildeous' turn.

Goddammit!

Okay, will see if I find time to get on the site today and keep you guys from waiting too much longer. Going to take some getting-used to.

Davio · « **Reply #37 on:** February 04, 2013, 08:24:52 am »

No worries mate.

My turn is after yours but today is my stay-at-home-and-guard-the-baby-day so have to see if I can get around to it.

Kuildeous · « **Reply #38 on:** February 04, 2013, 04:45:03 pm »

Now it's Davio's turn. For realz.

Davio · « **Reply #39 on:** February 05, 2013, 02:32:02 am »

Done! michaeljb up next.

Spots taken: 4W, 3W, WSR

sparky5856 · « **Reply #40 on:** February 05, 2013, 08:15:15 am »

Why do you people like wood so much >_<

Tables · « **Reply #41 on:** February 05, 2013, 08:16:29 am »

I've no idea what I'm meant to do

sparky's up

Davio · « **Reply #44 on:** February 05, 2013, 01:56:47 pm »

Still, starting the game at -14 VP is pretty harsh.

sparky5856 · « **Reply #45 on:** February 05, 2013, 02:02:59 pm »

I'm sorry, but I do not like being last. I really don't.

Notice that I didn't even build an improvement.

Tables is up.

michaeljb · « **Reply #46 on:** February 05, 2013, 02:08:44 pm »

I did notice. And now I have to be last!

Davio · « **Reply #47 on:** February 05, 2013, 02:10:28 pm »

I do like to add that I don't understand why there have to be a gazillion cards for Agricola.

I mean, the same can be said about Dominion, but the game resolves entirely around the cards so it makes sense.
Agricola would still be fun with just a base deck, I think.

But then again I haven't played a lot of Agricola. The cards add some strategy yes, but why so many decks?

michaeljb · « **Reply #48 on:** February 05, 2013, 02:47:00 pm »

Probably because it's an easy way to expand the game. There's a lot of design space there that doesn't mess with the game as a whole.

Also, forum users play-agricola.com, have been able to collectively design two decks (G and WM) that were officially published, and they're working on a third one. It seems like with the design space, if you have an idea for something a card could do, there's probably a way to make it work, and they can implement and test the cards they come up with.

tl;dr - because they can (also it's fun)

Tables · « **Reply #49 on:** February 05, 2013, 03:19:40 pm »

3 food for every future occupation play, AND an excuse to not have to think too hard? Sounds good to me! Kuildeous, match that!
