MOOOO!
I love the original game . definitely not feeling the art. It looks a little to pre school .. I wish it was more in line of everdale . it’s really expensive compared to the original.. to bad they just didn’t add an expansion.
Thanks for the playthrough Mike! 🙂
Glad you enjoyed the solo mode Mike! I'm very excited to finally see folks getting to try it out.
Great solo play! So close to a win. Really like the decision space of this game. I think Keymaster has done a great job with update of Harvest. Sadly, I feel like the price point is pretty high regardless of the upgraded components. Going to wait for the retail release.
One question I have: you put Gairy's and your sunrise card into the stack and reshuffled all the sunrise cards prior to the start of the action phase. Looking at the rules, doesn't that sunrise card then also determine the order in which you take a sunrise card the next round? I guess it doesn't matter so much for the solo play, but this would then mean you wouldn't ever get the option to pick the same sunrise card in back to back rounds.
I think Mike explained blueberries wrong based on my rulebook reading.
He implied tend let’s you place a new blueberry bush. I thought it’s difference was it could be tended without replanting a seed after harvest, but the bush itself can’t expand in tend and is more like a building (and is worth 2vp too) No?
He said at end that a planted berry bush comes with a crop on it, does it? It’s not clear in rulebook as written to me, it says a seed becomes a crop, so if that includes populating the bush, I think rulebook needs to make that clearer you put a berry on the planted bush seed when planted so it’s harvestable. Or is intent that berries are NOT harvestable until tended once? It’s a critical difference
tending adds more bushes. My understanding is the bush seed has NO harvestable crop on it when placed, and bushes can’t multiply on tend. The benefit
Why does the cover look exactly like Catan though?
I love this, glad I backed it. I think the blueberries would have had a win because it would have used less resources. With the extra 2 points at the end I think they score the same as the pumpkins.
I just got my Kickstarter copy and it looks like a number of the rules changed (for the better I think). This playthrough got me to back and I’ve enjoyed my first play!
Just picked this up at GenCon and it's THE best looking game of the con. It's unapologetically designed to feel and look like a Golden Book from (my) childhood. But gameplay – obviously not for that age group. The disparity between art and gameplay is kind of great. It's bright and makes you feel like you're having fun before you've even started playing.
