Yeah, I love the weird self imposed stress of the Starvation card. A triumph of theme! Amazing.
The first time I played it, I wasn’t a parent yet. 2009ish maybe? Adding kids to my family was gut-wrenching. How do I feed them all? How can I afford this? And then watching the synergies of additional actions and feeling reassured it would all work out.
Honestly I don’t know why I love Agricola as much as I do. Maybe it’s the family stress theme, dunno. Never tried Caverna; tbh it’s hard to rationalize both on my shelf.
