Cost=2S, Vps=-1, Prereq=none In the Breeding phase of each Harvest, if 2 or more animal types in your farm breed, you may return 2 newborn animals to the general supply and immediately take a "Family growth even without room" action. (You must have room for the baby animals on your farm first.) [View playtest games] [View all dealt games] |

Do you need to have room for the babies (before you return them)? |
Wow, an FG card that's getting positive votes You did a good job making sure this can't happen too early in the game with the Stone cost and needing two animals breeding.Nov 24, 2010 10:24pm [quote] (Edit: Nov 24, 2010 10:25pm) |

Nice job with this one Jedi. Very playable, but even in the most extreme circumstances it isn't overpowered. Is it even theoretically possible to get this running before the first harvest? Only with some real gymnastics.

With the current wording, I think you would need room for the baby animals. It's conditioned on "if two animal types in your farm Breed," a condition that can only be fulfilled if two types of animals can legally breed, which can only happen if you have room (or Early Riser).Nov 25, 2010 9:11am [quote] |

bumping it for more attention as I see it definitely deserves to be in G2. | Dec 16, 2010 5:35pm [quote] |

animal breeder + nothing sheep farmer + nothing sunrise herder + nothing bartering hut + nothing (well, lots of resources) boar breeding + pig breeder and likely many others |
it is certainly an interesting card. the biggest flaw i see is that many games it will not be able to be used until the 3rd harvest at the earliest, which isn't overly strong. but with right support, can easily be used by the 2nd harvest, which is super strong. if fg is round 7, not only will you tie for 1st FG, but you'll also already have fences up and animals breeding. and you'll grow in 7, 9, and 11 which is also super strong.

true hunter, this card won't be perfect for everyone, but a bunch of strategies would work, and heck, it may just save you the action of doing an FG later in the game, when every move counts big. | Dec 16, 2010 7:03pm [quote] |

You're probably right, but it can be made it clearer by moving the activation to "after the breeding phase". |
