Forgive me if there has been a similar card, I couldn't think of one, but it seems like an obvious idea.

Along the lines of the ponds, except you get all the food at once, and get more the longer you wait for it. If you take food, you have to take it all, killing it.

I don't like the name, but wasn't feeling creative. If you can think of something on a farm that increases and increases over a long period, then gets harvested and used up, that would work. Especially if a name making it a pond or lake.		 tacticus

'Fattened Calf' comes to mind, but i'd save the name for something involving actual cattle. How about 'Carp Pond' ? those suckers can get awful big. Or 'Stocked Pond' or 'Well-Stocked Pond' ? with that theme, you might say 'place one food from your supply and one from the general supply' (although then you run into hedging on 'what to do if you have no food, so maybe better not to.) glengarry

yeah, a slight weakening would be to make you place the initial food from your supply. tacticus

Changed the name, then the cost to reflect the theme. This mechanic mirrors aging of liquor or wine more closely than anything else I can think of. tacticus

Uwe likes this but recommends you make it a Passing Minor:

Of course if it is a Passing Minor you must stack the Food somewhere other than on the card.		 chris

Not sure how it would work as a passing minor.

Seems like that would bring in some new mechanic, where a card can be passed while at the same time leaving extra rules in play. The only thing we've done like that is Hala's Chisel.		 tacticus

Actually i think what he suggests is to give this to the hand of the player to your left when you take the food off it, so that it isnt useless anymore but someone else could play it again.
