Whenever you have at least 3/5 Stone in your supply at the start of the Work phase, you receive 1/2 Food. [View playtest games] [View all dealt games] |

Nice. It self balances well for different game sizes. In 2-ER and 3-ER, Food is more valuable, but Stone is harder to get. | Sep 5, 2011 2:05pm [quote] |

Luki where have you been so far? We completed 2 decks that could have been so more nicer with your wisdom... | Sep 5, 2011 2:47pm [quote] |

But to be honest, there's no wisdom. If you like my cards, then it's probably just luck. I know i did not think about different game sizes, i just thought that nobody is excited about the Turn5 Stone Action and the weaver-occ was laying in front of me. |
I'm flattered. Sep 5, 2011 3:04pm [quote] (Edit: Sep 6, 2011 4:18am) |

Do you like it or do you find it boring / unnecessary ? Thanks |
I would like to get some more opinions on this card. Sep 7, 2011 2:08am [quote] |

In 4er or 5er game, RSF/RSW might be the best action space in the stage 1 and 2, and it's the only way to get 2 stones without cards. That is, in my opinion, this card is slight overpowered. A player taking best action space 2 times and he building his first food engine too easy. Another card with the same function is Weaver, but weaver is harder because he needs 2 sheep. |
I might be the only one voting NO, so I guess I need to explain it.Sep 9, 2011 9:17pm [quote] |

Weaver - 5.63 - Plays (73 / 504 = 14.5%) - Wins (15 / 73 = 20.5%) - (39.9) - (2.5) - PWR = 0.4 |
If you play this card, then you can't use your Stone anymore. Therefore it negates some of the advantage of RSF. I think this card is balanced just fine. Also Weaver is super weak:Sep 9, 2011 10:04pm [quote] (Edit: Sep 9, 2011 10:05pm) |

In 4+ games, this is one of the best "1 food per round" occupations... but even an unconditional 1 food per round would not be as strong as the really broken cards, in my opinion. |
Yes, please never compare anything to Weaver. Weaver is on my list of cards that should probably just be removed from the game. It is pointless.Sep 10, 2011 9:25am [quote] |

Therefore this card will only begin helping you for Stage 2 feeding. And it prevents you from using your Stone in Stage 2. Also once this starts paying out, it will not pay out for the rest of the game since you will not have at least 2 Stone at some point. I'd say this is weaker than Water Carrier in 4-ER. |
But with Weight Lifter, it is very hard to get 1 Food before Round 4 unless you can take RSF and Occupation in the same round. So, the earliest this card will provide for you is usually 1 Food at the start of Round 4.Sep 10, 2011 10:12am [quote] (Edit: Sep 10, 2011 10:15am) |

You can make this work since the start of round 3 either with Stone buyer or with Stone exchange/Helpful neighbors. | Sep 10, 2011 2:56pm [quote] |
