Do you get to build the improvement as a free action? If so, this card is overpowered. Even without that, turning non-stone resources into points at a 1:1 ratio is pretty awesome.

If you don't mean to give free major-improvement actions, then the text should read something like "Once per round, when you build a Major Improvement, you may overpay to receive bonus points..."		 derakon

Too many words and too complicated concept. Let's make it simple:

Once per round, when you buy a minor or major improvement, you may pay one additional building resource of those already paid. Place the extra resource on this card for 1 Victory point.

This card was inspired by sean's sleepless agricola performance, when he bought the expensive fp while the cheap one was still available. We thought there should be a card that, at least, gives some points for insomniacs (in his case, ge got no points )		 hala

Sean, adopt my text and you will get more votes. People don't like verbous cards or complicated concepts. Why second VP? During a normal game, you may build somewhere between 3 and 12 improvements with buiding resource cost, normally somewhere around 5-6. So this card can generate as many bonus point. It's enough. If you say "an additional stone", what does this mean for a card that has no stone cost? And the last phrase is not necessary: you already said "of those paid", so while you didn't pay any building resource, you can't pay an additional one of those paid.

Finally, the picture makes me think to a diver rather than an insomniac. Try one of these:

The last part of this card should have been dropped a long time ago. (About getting two points) No one wants to test a ridiculous card. People just see this in the draft and think "TLR".

Like Hala said, . . . Actually just read everything hala said!		 nwoll

Can we simplify this furthur down to "Whenever you play an improvement, you can pay 1 clay for 1 bonus point."? It still commemorates the original incident, and has a VERY short text box. superg
