Pretty much. I mostly just want some sorta population increasing card, but since techs seem to give 3-4 cards, I thought "card what increases population" would be sorta narrow and hard to come up with 3 cards for? So I broadened it out to some sorta medical stuff in general so there's more room to design cards around, but we'll see.

Turn 30
Starting civ status:
Civilization Name: Torkal League
Population: 8 (8 labor)
Food: 15
Wood: 3
Science: 1
Herbs: 1
Cards in play:

• Grassland (4 x Grazing Animals attached)
• Safe Haven
• 2 x Wooden Tool (2 uses, 0 uses)
• Migratory Bird Spectacle (1/4 turns remaining)

Play Steady Progress (-1 labor, +1 science)
Play Sprint (-1 food, draw 4 cards)
Activate Safe Haven (discard Improvised Tool, +1 food)
Allocate 2 Science to Research Project (Animal Domestication)


End-of-turn actions: Gain 1 science from Migratory Bird Spectacle, pay 7 food for population upkeep, discard Leaves of Vigor; as 8 cards were discarded this turn gain 11 herbs

Ending civ status:
Civilization Name: Torkal League
Population: 8 (0 labor) - 1 (Kill the Beast) => 7
Food: 15 + 10 (Kill the Beast) + 6 (Expedition) + 1 (Safe Haven activation) - 7 (Population) => 25
Wood: 3
Science: 1 + 1 (Steady Progress) - 2 (Research Project allocation) + 1 (Migratory Bird Spectacle end-of-turn) => 1
Herbs: 1 - 1 (Kill the Beast) + 11 (Leaves of Vigor on-discard) => 11
Cards in play:

• Grassland (4 x Grazing Animals attached)
• Safe Haven
• 2 x Wooden Tool (2 uses, 0 uses)
• Research Project (Animal Domestication) with 3 Science

I am thinking of dropping this game. Not 100% decided on this yet.

[Criptfeind]

Well, that'd be fair enough. Games can't last forever, and since this game doesn't have a goal per se, it being ended by the gm or the players is the inevitable end state. I'm still enjoying it and would continue to play, but I'd agree that the early tension is mostly resolved and there doesn't seem much of a place to go past increasing numbers and efficiency. Not to mention as players we need to do significantly less work then you do, so it'd be understandable if you felt we reached an appropriate stopping point before the players felt the same.

Aywen and Ken-thun can give me cards.

[Secretdorf]

With the growth of our civilizations, the number of cards we have to deal with grows too. A time will come, when it will become too much work to do the turns. That said, it is still far off, the cards never cease to amuse me, but I guess it has to end one day.

Better to do that now, on your own terms than to simply abandon the game one turn and leave the players hanging. I won't even bother making my turn then, until you've made your decision.

Though, if you don't mind, i would like a peek behind the scenes, to see how the game was ran. Specifically, how the card drawing worked.

That's fair. Thank you for running this game.

[TricMagic]

Gridhoods of any stripe never quite reach the war and diplomacy stages. Sad, but it is what it is.

(I'd probably play a tribe in any reboot, I think.) What were the god cards that never got seen?

[Megam0nkey]

I am very sorry, by the way. i meant to make my deck but I got really busy these last few weeks before the game ended.

[Supernerd]

Yeah, I am ready to officially declare it done.

[TricMagic]

I am still wondering what the god cards that didn't see play look like. Can we see them?
