there was a similar suggestion in G2 but i think it was removed because the author went inactive and Uwe absolutely wants names to each card. i like the idea alot. if you want to sow 2 grain early, this is the card for you (nice combo with acreage). otherwise it's nothing great but still better than just taking a single grain. letsdance

You spend the turn that you could have taken 1 grain to play this occupation. The occupation probably costs you 1 food. So the net gain is just (1 grain - 1 food). Would it be better to have 1 grain over the next 3 rounds instead? yeoster

As written currently, it's a strictly weaker version of PlayerX's Seed Deliveryman: http://play-agricola.com/Agricola/Cards/index.php?id=2968. inoshishi

true, though the seed deliveryman is overpowered at the moment (seems to be general oppinion, not just mine). let see how it is fixed. i think playerx will want to keep the vegetable option, which makes them different enough to keep both.

if they become more similar, i will drop this card. until then i would like to keep it and see what people think / how it is liked.		 letsdance

i vote yes on this and abstain on playerx.

I liked Legend's old version of add 1,3,5 to current round and place grain.		 chris

i think 3g is too much. that lets you buy an oven, sow 1 grain and bake twice while doing so. that's why i prefer 2 fast grain. at least you have to decide if you want to bake or sow them. letsdance

This is barely stronger than just taking the "Take 1 Grain" Action space (the weakest space around), where you can get a Grain in the same round and not pay 1 Food occ cost.

This card can acceptably give 1 Grain on the next round and 1 Veg on the round after that. Or, 1 grain on 1,3,5.		 chris

I think grain on 1,3,5 will make it a top pick.
Maybe 2 grains immediately.		 jingking

I'm not so sure about that. I would still draft at least 30+ cards before it. Getting 3 Grains is not a high priority. Also it certainly wouldn't be busted since it would be worse than Storehouse Keeper.

Here are the stats on Sack Cart (i realize its different but it has some similarities):
sackcart - 4.01 - Plays (348 / 594 = 58.6%) - Wins (84 / 347 = 24.2%) - (41.2) - (2.4) - PWR = 2.0

and Storehouse Keeper:
storehousekeeper - 1.89 - Plays (443 / 504 = 87.9%) - Wins (136 / 441 = 30.8%) - (41.8 ) - (2.3) - PWR = 3.9		 chris
