[View] 		G2occ-1PawnbrokerAt any time, you may convert all the printed Victory points (if any) of an Improvement in front of you to 3 Food per point. After, you may not return or remove the Improvement and you no longer receive its Victory points. If Pawnbroker gets turned face down or discarded, you still lose the points.0ss[107 Comments]

could have add in one of these:
1. too weak? change to 1vp:4food (too strong?)
2. corn profiteer mech?
3. At the end of game, you receive 3 Bonus point if you have do not receive any printed Victory point from an improvement. (= free food, might be too strong)
4. Change "Whenever" into "At anytime" concept (might be harder to track)
5. You receive 2 food for each improvement you play after this with no printed Victory point.
6. Suggestion from David: Rebuy the point at the end of game with a higher food cost.		 ss

I like this. maybe add (for bonus points at the end of the game) you may twice convert 4 food to 1 victory point? then it could be like at a few times in the game you were lent some food at the cost of victory points and to buy them back its more?
or you could add that for negative victory cards you may pay 3 food for each point for it not to be counted at the end of the game.		 davidcourtney

cool idea too david, i added it into 2nd post of my other suggestion list.
I just afraid the text would be too long and trying to avoid it hard to be keep on track. (although i seem no problem of tracking it)

i personally like this very much too, hope it get high voted.
Major Well, 12+5 food! good food, but you pay good VP too...
or Holiday House for 24 food and feed 2 harvest? (but what the point of playing it ?,?)
lol, fun card to play with.		 ss

I'd like to see this tested. It might be quite strong: as you say, an early Well would feed you for like 3 harvests. tacticus

I dont see this as being too strong unless you have easy access of stone near the beginning of the game, but to have that usually is an occupation/minor improvement or two, so i guess you would be spending a decent number of actions to get get the early well and this anyways... however as for suggestion 4, being able to at any time convert to food... i think thats too powerful, its just too much food in the bank you can withdraw at any-point, and near guarantees that someone with this card never receives a begging card... whereas otherwise they have to plan ahead and maybe turning that Well into food is something they will regret later. davidcourtney

yup that true, in the well case, i just need a well builder.
and properly use it for my 1vp-2vp card, but not the well, kind of waste for me.
More strong combo references for this card , Imagine yourself:

Yeah, the "Return" cards would make this pretty great. For that matter, you can always use it with an early Fireplace and return that later for a Hearth. tacticus

an easy fix is to say that any card that you have converted victory points to food may not be returned... then you as a player would have to think if using it on the well is worth it or do you wait to use it on the village well after you have returned the well? davidcourtney
