I would bump spontaneous up to S tier. Many passports can be hate-drafted against. Like denying a happy go lucky opponent as many relaxation/frugal cards as possible. You can't hate draft against spontaneous, shy of maybe making sure they don't get a relaxation tag highlight bonus card. Even then th...

If I have a "Add 1 sprout to all plants in this column plant (Beach Rose) and I have a swamp sprouts in a different column, if I select the beach rose as the target of my Copy will it activate it from the rose's location, or from the sprout's?

Taking foster home out of the equation, since that is supposed to be the low point safety valve, you would think that the point earning potential between city/suburbs/country would be similar in terms of risk/reward. In a recent game I had the 3 dogs of the same type = 6 points countryside. Right ne...

Either that or add a "Use both of your moves this turn to take one dog of any color from the supply". Sorta like taking a face up locomotive in Ticket to Ride.

I'm game!

I've had games where sponsors was my 1st or 2nd upgrade (normally due to a good sponsor card iny starting hand that required the upgrade like explorer).

What happens if I play something over my restaurant? Does the restaurant 'adjacent tiles' bonus still stay? Or is everything lost because the restaurant itself was covered?

Also, would I get a potential 6th point of income per round by covering the patch of water to the north of the restaurant tile?

In a recent IRL game, I played a New Zealand Sea Lion which netted me 6 base appeal and 3 bonus appeal from its pack ability since I had two other predator tags in my zoo at the time. Later on, I release the sea lion to the savannah project. Do I lose 6 appeal or 9 appeal? I haven't encountered this...

The biggest single turn point jump I've ever had was having a 2x token on A 5 power association. Having the Migration sponsor. In one turn I released a size 4 animal (5 conservation) + 1 from migration + 1 from donation and then released a size 3 animal (4 conservation) +1 migration. I could have do...

A fun option would be to implement a "Pick or Ban" rule. Before being given their maps, each player is allowed to choose "Pick" or "Ban" If you choose "Ban", you pick one of the 8 maps and remove it from the pool. As a result of exerting your ban, you are then...
