You may want to consider allowing this Minor to be played with FG and used immediately. See the text of this card for a template:

Definitely considered the clapper thing but felt that this card was already good enough without the boost. by the way, i played it and thought it was pretty good. 6f for 2w is not 'too much' but its also "not nothing" ... the food feels really timely, too, coming at a time when you immediately start worrying about 'ok now how am i going to feed?' ... and the other option, i dunno, seems like 'gravy', but i'm sure people would use it for 1p in the last rounds at some point glengarry

i think the second option is useless, or at least doesn't outweigh the additional text. 4 food is almost always better than 1 vp (the only exception might sometimes be fg in round 13 or 14). if the card isn't good enough without it reduce the costs to 1 wood and/or let the effect work if you play with with fg. letsdance

I agree with dance that the second option is next to useless. And the card in itself is:
1. too expensive for my taste.
2. not clear enough as if you can play it with fg and still get the food. By the current text you can't. If you want it to, use Clapper or Birthstone for inspiration (attention: there is a difference between the two regarding the trigger mechanism)		 hala

i agree that the second part is useless and the text should be shortened. I also agree you should be able to play it while FG-ing. The current text does not let you since the space says "After Family growth also play a Minor"

The cost does seem high, but if you grow 3 times and play this on your first FG (and it works on FG), you'll get 6 Food. A cost of 1 W would be too low. As is, you're getting 1-3 Food for each Wood paid. That's a good payout.		 chris

the second part is still useless and should be deleted. letsdance

i disagree. if i'm playing a 3 rooms strategy i may have a food surplus and just assume pay 2f for 1VP. it won't be used a lot, but it will see some action for the 4th or 5th peeps. and the text is short enough i'd leave it on. hunter
