I may have found a way to trigger Dung Collector outside of the harvest. Consider these three cards: Pig Breeder (A165): "When you play this card, you immediately get 1 wild boar. Your wild boar breed at the end of round 12 (if there is room for the new wild boar)." Pure Breeder (D167): &q...

The way I interpret it is you receive the improvement immediately as you pay for it, and you get the baking action immediately as you get the oven, then immediately after cannot trigger until the entire sequence is resolved as you are still in the same step as the payment functionally. I understand...

Suppose I have Cottar "Each time you play or build an improvement, you get your choice of 1 wood or 1 clay immediately after paying its cost.” and Potter Ceramics “Each time before you take a Bake Bread action, you can exchange 1 clay for 1 grain” both in play. Now I buy the Clay Oven "Whe...

Ridiculous. I would dedicate an entire game towards creating the pasture doughnut!

Suppose I play Wood Palisades "Instead of a fence piece, you can place 2 wood on fence spaces at the edge of your farmyard. These fence spaces with 2 wood are worth 1 bonus point." which allows me to build more than 15 effective fences. Then I construct a 3x3 pasture with a 1x1 pasture in ...

I also think that cowboy dan's suggestion is a very good idea.

I have two possible interpretations, and in both cases, I think it should only give 2 food. In my first interpretation, the cards are played sequentially. Task Artisan is played, and the Scales condition is checked. The number of occupations and improvements is different, so Scales does not give any...

Just be mindful that you don't actually get a chance to use any cards during the breeding phase unless you have both a) the "auto reorganize" option set to manual, or auto with confirm AND b) an actual breeding pair. While this wasn't in my question, I was also wondering about it. This in...

I'm in a game where I have both ebonist "Each harvest, you can use this card to turn exactly 1 wood into 1 grain and 1 food." and social benefits "Immediately after the feeding phase of each harvest, if you have no food left, you get 1 wood and 1 clay." Suppose I enter the harves...
