I noticed that I have received my turn 2 cards immediately. Should I wait until turn two starts or start playing cards immediately? I notice two players have not ended their turn, although presumably that's an error on Crystalizedmires part and they have in fact ended turn, but presumably RulerOfNothing needed to wait to see their scouting cards before they could do their turn.

(I thought you would do the end of turn calculations yourself, Supernerd. For validation purposes. I have no issue doing them myself, however.
Also, i'm getting some insane luck with draws right now!
New card color discovered: Pink. Probably means it's a special card of some kind.)

Shouldn't you be at 23 food instead of 30? 20+6-5+2?

Yep. Entirely my bad.

Can you use the civilians you gain from cards that increase pop on the turn you play it?

[Supernerd]

No, you cannot. You would need to wait until your next turn to put them to work.

Ah. I've been thinking about this for a little bit because all the other pink cards seem to be racially based, but I couldn't figure out what stork based reproduction has to do with Salamanders especially, but I guess maybe it how you've described them as Neotenic? A more whimsical (and probably more efficient) form of reproduction for a more childish race?

(Hmm... You may be right, actually. I compared "The Stork!?" with other red cards. I thought it's background looked a bit more pink to me, but i think i was mistaken and "The Stork!?" might indeed just be a red card.
Though, it isn't in my hands, but if it was, i would have "The Stork!?" as a "miracle" card of sorts, available to all players.
An alternative interpretation is that "The Stork!?" card is an euphemism for parthenogenesis, which the salamander-kin might conceivably be capable of, and that would make it a racial unique. And it's only named "The Stork!?" because "Parthenogenesis" wouldn't fit in the card header . Mind, i would prefer it named "Parthenogenesis" over "The Stork!?", if it is unique to the salamander-kin.)
