Re: Luck in this game

Last action card reveals may have been cards held multiple break rounds just to do this final move. Planning is not luck. Exactly one time I was playing my final move, expecting to lose.

Building over rock/water spaces also has huge advantage with Outdoor Areas Map. Can get 6 enclosures adjacent to hold large animals with less up-front building costs. I love it.
