Spars are traditionally uses "arrows" from Hazel or Willow wood that hold the reed in place and help it to compress when thatching a roof.

Trading in points for resources. What do you think about this mechanism?		 tom

I think it's a fine and interesting mechanism, but since we have very little experience with it as players or designers it is hard to balance. I think we should err on the side of strength with this mechanism, since the point loss is a big psychological disincentive. tacticus

Cool concept. It will need to be play-tested, but I suspect its worth the point loss. trey

Cool concept indeed, but I'd remove the wood cost, because this seems really weak compared to ladder. Also, can you choose to pay 1r when extending? stijn263

But you never have to take reed. Saving those actions for 3-4 points losing, might be worth it even with 1w. tom

You can choose to pay in reed of course, so rsf in 4er is not a weak option for you. You may also consider that you can build 3 rooms at once with taking only 1 Marker (losing 1 Point for 6 Reed).		 tom

Aah, I did not understand that. I thought you'd get 1 marker per reed. Forget about my comment then; this isn't a weak card stijn263

Well, never needing to take reed makes it easier for everyone else, and this spot basically says "no thanks, I don't need RSF"

Also, 2r for -1VP is a pretty sweet deal. But you could also combo this with axe to devastating effect.

Let's see how it is in testing.		 btizo
