Easy to play but hard to get the best profit out of it. |
This card can give you from 0vp (1 of each type) to max. 2vp (e.g. 4 of each type)Aug 21, 2010 10:34am [quote] |

4 sheep = 2 points (becomes 3) 4 boar = 2 points (becomes 3) After thinking about it before for a while and rethinking it after your post, i still think its +2vp ![]() |
4 cattle = 3pointsAug 21, 2010 2:32pm [quote] |

Oh, you are correct. Haha. | Aug 21, 2010 5:14pm [quote] |

it might eliminate potential confusion to say 'instead of scoring sheep and boar normally, you may take 1/2/3/4 points for 1/2/4/6 of those animals.' because i can see about a billion different ways someone could mis-interpret it. |
this is fairly likely to give you 2P can't blow up for more points; and thus is quite acceptable and interesting. i think the G2 deck is actually getting light on 'play it late' cards like this (wood path etc) so i don't mind that it has no early-game use. you might say something cute like 'petting zoo can hold one sheep' if you wanted.Aug 21, 2010 5:24pm [quote] |

I like everything except the name :] | Aug 21, 2010 5:55pm [quote] |

I agree that a new name would be good. It also shouldn't say "see below" on prerequisites, since there are no prerequisites listed below. | Aug 21, 2010 7:00pm [quote] |

![]() Any other suggestion? I thought the "see below" might be helpful to remember that you can only score this card when you have all 3 animal types in your farm. But i agree, its not really a prerequisite to play this card. Removed it |
I was asking a translator for the english word of the kind of zoo, where kids have the opportunity to pet?caress?fondle?stroke? cute free running animals, like sheeps or goats, and the only thing it gave me was petting zoo Aug 22, 2010 12:50pm [quote] (Edit: Aug 22, 2010 12:51pm) |

caress fondle and stroke all have, uh, common sexual implications that i think we'd prefer to avoid. I don't really have a problem with 'Petting Zoo' ... it's whimsical enough. Feel free to use 'Animal Menagerie' if you like, it's a name on a card of mine that nobody liked. | Aug 22, 2010 12:59pm [quote] |

- touching the shoulder of your ill grandmother and moving your hand to give her new hope - touching your dogs head and move your hand to make the dog feel good without having sexual implications? ![]() |
So you want to tell me that there are no english words for Aug 22, 2010 1:55pm [quote] |
