3.) Grow those families fast!
All in all, a great game, although the components leave much to be desired. It's difficult to tell wood from clay. If you can get animeeples, by all means get them! |
Oh, my. I once thought as you did...
My wife and I were playing and she acquired the "Hedge Keeper" occupation. Basically, it gave her three extra fences whenever she built one. So, she took almost all of the wood in the game and had a HUGE number of animals at her disposal. I, on the other hand had a few sheep, a couple grain, and a couple of vegetables. I won the game because I managed to upgrade my house to stone using my occupations and because I got a lot of card bonus points.
Wood is not the be-all end all. But it does help...
And yet another word from our sponsors
