At the start of each round, if you have no empty plowed fields on your farm, you may pay 1 Food to Plow 1 field. [View playtest games] [View all dealt games] |

This is a very interesting card. I like it a lot. It's got a similar flavor to my Stone Scavenger card, in that you can trigger a nice ability whenever a certain condition is met, but then the condition is broken by the trigger. More cards of that genre would be nice, as they require skill to maximize. | Aug 14, 2011 6:44pm [quote] |

that's how i would understand it. what if i have no fields? do cards like acreage count? interesting variant for plowman. |
"all fields are sown with goods" means "number of sown fields" equals "number of total fields"?Aug 16, 2011 1:55am [quote] |

Anyway great combo card for seed spreader. |
Replace "if all of your fields are sown" with "if you have no empty fields". As it is now, I don't know if it's triggered by zero fields. My variant is clearer, but still not 100% clear in case of cards like Apple tree or Corral, where the field is used but not for sowing.Aug 16, 2011 2:21am [quote] |

Wouldn't "if you have no empty fields" also trigger if you had no fields? After all, if I have no fields, I could claim that I also have no empty fields. My intention is it not to trigger if you have no fields at all. Field cards do count, however. So if I Beanfield sown with a veggie and no plowed fields, then I can trigger the card. I wonder if by the rules Acreage counts if only sowed with 1 grain. Is it two separate grain fields or 1 field that can be sown twice? |

Also, in addition to Seed Spreader, this card finally gives a combo partner to that poor Irrigation Canal. | Aug 16, 2011 4:04am [quote] |

Obviously it would trigger for no fields at all if you used my text. But at least it's clear that it does. As it is now it's not clear. | Aug 16, 2011 4:15am [quote] |

Thought I was missing something. Maybe it should allow your first field as well, though that's stronger than my original intent. But then again, a more accessible card is often a better one, so let's let it work. |

i think if you want acreage & co to prevent this from triggering you should word it something like "if you have nothing where you could sow on". how about master forester? | Aug 16, 2011 10:03am [quote] |

To prevent ambiguity: "...if you have no empty fields on your farm..." | Aug 16, 2011 11:29am [quote] |
