Thematically, the idea is that Ruins are 1) prestigious and 2) good sources of stone. |
The concept is a large reward for an early stone investment. 4 stone for 3 VPs isn't a very good deal, but if you can pull it together by the 2nd harvest, it's a great deal. I'm not sure if the various numbers are properly balanced yet.Jul 20, 2010 4:19pm [quote] |

I vote yes anyway. |

Hard to get 4s before second harvest. If you have so much stone the Well is maybe a better move. If we compare with paved road, the ratio is not that good but you can get some of the stone back. If you also consider 2er, 3er or 5er games, the card is too expensive. So I would rather want it at 3s. Still a yes vote. | Jul 27, 2010 2:22pm [quote] |

I like it the way it is |
I think this card will be played in round 11 or later. By that time the well is usually gone, and this card still gives you a good amount of vp's for your stone. Also with stone carver or quarryman, you can even use the stone in the last harvest Jul 27, 2010 2:31pm [quote] |

It's expensive for a reason. If you manage to play it before second harvest, you've essentially grabbed 3 VPs for free, at the cost of missing out on the Well. Usually I'd prefer Well, sure, but Well costs a Major action, and isn't always there. | Jul 27, 2010 3:10pm [quote] |
