Back down to the farm - Agricola players wanted

Hardco has the right answer: it was just my Master Shepherd needing me to confirm where Iā€™d like my sheep installed. KYakerDudeā€™s taking the first actual turn of the round.

I ended up taking the first turn as expected. It was the Master Shepherd that did it.

Thanks.

Congrats on getting one of the most unbalanced cards in the game! :wink:

Uh, weā€™ve seen a lot of complaints about some cards being unbalanced, but Master Shepherd has never been one of themā€¦

Not sure if serious, but the response was directed at Kyakerdudeā€™s Lover!

Thanks, lets see if I can make it work for me. Iā€™ve managed to feed him this first harvest round. I remember you played it in one of our games. You would have beaten me anyway. :slight_smile:

Just read this a second time. Out of context; how do you know my lover? :smile:

Iā€™ve played with them often, and they were always overpowering!

@Hardco crushed us all, getting 61 pts. He didnā€™t even need a fireplace or cooking hearthā€“he had a lot of food coming in from minor improvements (and the Apprentice). The harbor master occupation, landing net, and private forest helped him get started quickly and build many rooms, sometimes 2 at a time. He got 5 family members fast, ended with 6 stone rooms thanks to the Quarry. Good job!

Yep, it was clear fairly early on that Hardco had stolen quite the march on the rest of us and it was going to be a squabble for second place. (Which I managed to edge, though not without a great deal of regretful staring at occupations and improvements in my hand that would have been splendid had I managed to get them down four rounds ago.) Congratulations @Hardco, and letā€™s see if we can make a better showing in the rematch!

Iā€™m going to chalk my last place performance up to re-learning the gameā€¦ :wink:

You unfortunately ended up with the position of being blocked from your first family growth by my second and third. By that point there wasnā€™t much you could doā€¦ The most limited resource in 4p is building rooms and family growth!

Iā€™ll throw my name in the ring for a practice game if anyone is interested. mhatke on playdek

Need to shake off the rust!

I should probably relearn this game, I have not played since it came out. kennfusion

Iā€™m interested in a friendly game.

Alright Iā€™ve accepted both games. Thatā€™s enough raised stress for the holidays. Good luck all :slight_smile:
