Re: Snake Opening Discussion Thread

Imo snake opening is directed to 4p games. Atm I agree that there is a tendency that the 4th player (way to often) picks Meeting Place with one of its actions and thatwise player 3 becomes the weakest position to start with, but I advise to give it more time and let meta this by itself.

Re: 2-player Banlist Discussion

Those are all weak cards for sure, though I can see a scenario where Fodder Chamber might be an option. Sculpture or Storks I never played. As Occs are generally more rare in 2p games than 4p I think you can just keep those occs banned, but I dont have any hard feelings in either direction.

Re: Banlist Discussion!

You are right that the card isent overall better than all those you listed and especially with clay supports there are tons of combos, though to make wood pallisades work you "just" have to assemble a lot of wood, which isent exactly impossible in 4p games. I think what triggers me to disl...

Re: Banlist Discussion!

You could theoretically cover 12 squares, with 4pastures with 8 fences and 22 wood in pallisades resulting in: 12squares+11WP+4pastures = 27VP just by fencing :D

Re: Banlist Discussion!

If the intended function of wood pallisades is indeed meant to be like in this example by Fontane https://boardgamearena.com/1/agricola?table=843761968# I definately like to see that card banned. I like the card in general, as its not so easy to score extra VP, because you need tons of wood and I wo...

Re: 2-player Banlist Discussion

First of all thx Alex for the effort. I played a good amount of 2p tournaments and would comment your list like this: STRONG BANLIST Keep all cards on strong banlist that are in the top 30% of 2-player cards by PWR (see previous point about variance), that is Teacher's Desk Royal Wood Shaving Horse ...

Re: 2-player Banlist Discussion

I agree with Flowers list. Pioneer is absolutly broken in 2p games, Job Contract especially with any DayLab combo, but also on its own is rediculous. I disagree with some arguments above suggesting Geologist or wood pallisades as bans. Obviously those are good cards, but id rather have a short list ...

Hunting Trophy + Fatstock Stretcher

Just wondering if this is correctly implemented. I grew and played hunting trophy as minor improvement with Fatstock stretcher and hearth already in game. Now I got only the regular 3 food from cooking a pig as cost for the trophy. The stretcher states everytime I turn a boar into food using a cooki...

Re: Bug or am I wrong? Junior Artist and Writing Desk

@cranes: You are right, I thought I did pay 1 for the occ, but that was just the junior artist fee. I still think it would be good to ask me / show me that I miss 1 food for the regular lesson and thatwise give me the chance to undo the writing desk / and or the entire action via restart.

Re: Bug or am I wrong? Junior Artist and Writing Desk

@cranes I did pay the 2 writing desk food and played an occ after. Even if I would lack food, I should have the option to convert for missing food or otherwise restart my turn. @alex I had to confirm and then the turn ended, no greyed out button. I thought I confirm the occ from the writing desk and...
