Cost=none, Vps=3, Prereq=Return Pottery Each harvest you may convert up to 1 Clay to 3 Food . At the end of the game, you receive 1/2/3 Bonus points for 2/4/5 Clay. (A repurchased Pottery does not give additional Bonus points, but can be used to convert an additional Clay each Harvest.) [View playtest games] [View all dealt games] |

It should be called "Antique Shop" though. |
I like it.Aug 10, 2010 12:30pm [quote] |

Thx, changed name. Had Sawmill the last game and wondered if there was the same for pottery. | Aug 10, 2010 12:39pm [quote] |

Quote from: tom2 on Aug 10, 2010 12:22pm Antique Shop (minor) Cost=none, Vps=3, Prereq=Return Pottery to the board You can convert at most 1 Clay to 3 Food each harvest. At the end of the game you receive 1/2/3 Bonus Points for 2/4/5 Clay. I like this, a simple but useful, analogy of Sawmill. My only suggestion is that you change its name from "Antique Shop" to "China Shop" |

Is there some way to spin off the sawmill idea to make it more interesting, rather than just a copy? | Aug 13, 2010 10:47am [quote] |

well, instead of an improved rate, 1c--3f, we can make it unlimited 1c--2f, with the profiteer mechanism that other players may buy from you for 1c--1f. | Aug 13, 2010 10:51am [quote] (Edit: Aug 13, 2010 10:51am) |

Two points I'm thinking about: 1) Use outside of harvest: Each round convert at most 1c to 2f. 2) Do we need the words from sawmill, that you don't get the bonus points for a rebought Pottery? |
1c=1f with profiteer mechanism is an interesting twist, because you get the food from other players. But if you only have 1c to spent, 3f is better than 1f from another player. 1c=2f unlimited seems strong with Clay enhancing cards like clay mixer.Aug 13, 2010 11:17am [quote] |

However, maybe you can consider removing the bonus point all together and makes it a stronger food engine, that will be significant different from Sawmill. ( and makes the text shorter ) |
2) I think since sawmill has that text, this one should, too.Aug 13, 2010 7:30pm [quote] |
