I work as a firewatcher in summer and we had a ton of big wildfires 2 years ago in Spain, (also under suspicious circumstances), so this hits on a personal level.
What worries me the most is that these disasters are becoming more and more frequent, we currently have no means to stop them, and on the long run they can devolve into different environmental issues... But people don't seem too concerned about it.
As terrible as this is, lets hope it works as a wake-up call for people in your country, and preventive measures are taken so that it doesn't repeat on the same scale.
I guess paying to pick cards is done before the EVENTS trigger right?
I think misremembering that sentence about "Queens doing something before an event" made me uncertain of that. I kinda wish paying would come later :P. Everything else seems pretty clear in the rules, although certain questions are cleared in a different place than expected.
Wow Gabe I'm a bit surprised to read about "mixed results" and this and that. You know I'm a nitpicking idiot and sure there are many things that could be improved, but I think this is really awesome XD I like so many elements and each for a different reason so I can't explain all of that here, but man this was just the kind of thing I was in the mood for.
The "tool" cards as we called them were supposed to do similar things to what you mentioned. we cut them out for time purposes, though I'll admit they weren't as interesting as they sound.
I agree usually you feel like you'd like water to be optional instead of mandatory, though I think thats more the result of simplifying the water layout and raising the card value maximum, both of which butchered the original water mechanism lol. I like the sound of the compost bin! If we work on this further I'll give a try and see if discarding the highest cards isn't always obvious.
Thanks a lot for the suggestions!
There might be a bug there. I've definitely put a sideways card on the next higher card and then "untapped" it without any issues.
I agree that cards scoring automatically feels like that could soft-lock you; both games I won I was in a situation were a card I wanted to use would instead auto-score itself. I found other ways to work without those, but yeah, scoring feels more risky than expected.
