When you play this card, you receive 7 Food and 2 Begging cards. At any time, you may pay 3 Food to discard one of these 2 Begging cards or a Begging card you received instead of paying 1 Food to feed your family. [View playtest games] [View all dealt games] |

Nice concept The amount of food seems right too, but that might need some testing | Jul 21, 2010 1:11am [quote] (Edit: Jul 21, 2010 1:11am) |

This can actually be a funny combo with Perfect Planner, if your planning isn't quite perfect. | Jul 29, 2010 7:39pm [quote] |

I just had this card in a 2-ER. I drafted this with Grocer, and was planning on using the two together to get a lot of stuff going in Stage 1. But i didn't have the food to play the card to get food | Jul 30, 2010 4:04pm [quote] (Edit: Jul 30, 2010 4:04pm) |

I think this card should give you the 7 food BEFORE you play the card. It happened to me again this game. Knowing that I had this, I played Private Forest and used up all my Food. Then i wanted to play this but had no food. So I had to take DL and then play this. I think it makes sense to have a card that helps out with early food problems pay for itself to be played. |
I played this card again yesterday. I really like it and i think it is very balanced.Aug 26, 2010 9:13am [quote] |

It seems very similar to Tenant Farmer. | Sep 21, 2010 7:38am [quote] |

The advantage of this card is that you don't need an FP. |
Interesting comparison. I guess if you have an FP, then it is similar. Tenant Farmer, then gives you 7 Food, and you basically lose 1 point per 2 Food you can't return.Sep 21, 2010 8:35am [quote] |

And you don't need certain animals to return. It's like a Tenant farmer that lets you return 3 animals of your choice. | Sep 21, 2010 11:35am [quote] |

Similar in appearance/mechanic to Tenant Farmer, but as different as can be in actual gameplay function. | Sep 21, 2010 5:48pm [quote] |

I played this card in a few games. And I would have preferred this change. Because there were times i had no Food in Stage 1. But after i took Food from the board, planning to play this card, i no longer wanted to play this card |
I think this card should say "You receive 7 Food before you pay the costs for playing this Occupation". That way you can play this card even if you have no Food.Dec 20, 2010 1:55pm [quote] |
