We find the Hardware Store and the Tree Guard to be leaning toward the broken label. Very powerful if not. The ability to gain loads of different resources in one visit is so useful - especially in a two player with the extra variant board in play.

I (aka Watershipdown) just drafted the "Lover" card and thought of this video. But it has different requirements in BGA.

Revised edition Lover is actually fun - its food cost is almost impossible to pay in stage 1(enter Foreign aid) - thus, it is often used for 2nd/3rd growth.

The funny thing about all of the cards that let you grow your family without taking the action is that if more that one player has one of those cards, they suddenly become fair, since the FG action isn't high priority any more. That is why i think Taster is the most overpowered card in the game. Not only you are getting all you want, but you are denying everyone else what they wanted at the same time.

It's funny how pretty much all the most broken cards are in the same expansion, De Lage Landen

Yeah apparently the creators of Agricola were on something else when they made that deck.

do you ever consider writing chamber to be broken? 2 wood for 7 point immediately is nuts

I thought very hard about including that card in the honorable mentions. I don't think that it is 7 points in every game. There are a ton of games where you have an almost complete farm, but it is very broken in combination with cards that give you beggars to use their effect, or cards that give you many negative points. It's obviously a card that should be banned, but a) I've never actually played with that card, so I don't know how often it's 7 points whereas I've had the experience of playing with every other card on the list, and b) without other cards that work with it it's not quite broken, whereas I think the other cards on this list are always broken regardless of the other cards you have. I'm open to being wrong about that though!

Wait, why isn't Lover way more broken than Caravan (even the 3 wood version of Caravan)?

@econseanboardgames 2 жыл бұрын

To be honest they are both really broken. I think Lover has like one more drawback compared to Caravan when I weigh the pros and cons, but both of them break the game in half and lead to winning positions an absurd amount of the time.
