thats pretty interesting but probably too good as is; its sure to give you 7g or more. I'd say '1f, or pay 2f for a grain'. you'll be able to tag it a LOT, trust me. also: fiendish in 5ers, but that's OK by me. I like the card, but this gives you waaay too much grain. compare: Outrider, which also only gives grain, but probably 4g if you're lucky. glengarry

Yeah, I like the use of board geography, but this is much stronger than Outrider tacticus

If FG is Round 5, you need to take Round 2 action, later it's Round 2, 6 and 8.
If FG is Round 6, it's Round 3 and 5, later Round 3,5 and 9.
If FG is Round 7, it's 4 and 6.

Also you have to take it after the FG, which could make you not be able to take it in a round.
And adjacent to FG is Reno and Stone: How often do you reno? Would you take 1 Stone for an additional grain? Would you take 1 Sheep? Would you Sow/Bake (probably)?

I will change it to 1f for 1g, but what do others think?		 tom

Do you think it's necessary to restrict the use to 1 time per round? tom

definitely not, that's pretty joyless. (restricting X per round.) but I'd say take 1f or pay 1f for a grain. then it's not a 'dead occ' at any time.

just a thought, but it might be more in keeping with the theme of the card (you're there to help!) to give you a *better* payoff for a trickier condition: when someone else takes FG and you have a player already placed adjacent to FG. Much harder to profit in the rounds when FG is the first thing taken by SP, but then turning lucrative in the rounds where someone is taking FG last because they're the only person who *can* take it.		 glengarry

Did the change glengarry suggested about receiving 1 Food or pay 1 Food to gain 1 Grain. tom

i think just receive 1 grain would be ok. pay 1 food for 1 grain is rather, or too weak imo. ss

Changed the card to receive 1g without paying. This card was in 2 games. 6th pick in the one game but never played and not drafted in the other. So I think this one needed a boost. tom

Hillarious picture, terrible name. There is an official name for this, it's Midwife, and we already have that occ.

How about "Nanny" or "Doting Grandparents" or something a little more thematic than "Birth Helper"		 btizo
