Build Phase 1

The first build is often a very important one, as it could shape your Village's direction for the rest of the game.
Everyone has two Build Actions, so it's an even playing field to start.
As before, we're starting with the village of

Riverton

.

Also, if you finish the turn with no Food, your Founders will flip to provide Food.

No Unlockers yet, so any unlocking fees go to the Bank.
You have (expired on 2021-03-18 15:06:00) to submit your turn.

[Farren]

#1 to stack B in exchange for a Miner.
#5 to stack B in exchange for a Lumberjack.
Play #7 on the Miner.
Play #6 on the Lumberjack, using #7 to unlock it.
Flip the Founders over to the Food side.

[vincentw]

Farren

began by returning Villagers

1

and

5

, both to

Stack B

, to get a

Miner

and a

Lumberjack

.
Stack B gets 20% taller:

Miner	9
Hayer	10
Lumberjack	9

Next, he placed Villager 7, the

Blacksmith

, after the Miner.
The Blacksmith can unlock up to 10 villagers, and also gives the Village

2 Gold

.

Finally, he placed Villager 6, the

Cooper

, after the Lumberjack.
The Cooper is unlocked with the Blacksmith, and look who's waiting in his Village! The Blacksmith earns

2 coins

from the Bank.
The Cooper can unlock up to 6 villagers, and also gives the Village

4 Gold

.

At the end of the turn, the village of

Riverton

ended up with no Food, so its

Founders

switch from their

2 Gold

side to their

1 Food

side.

All in all, it gained 2 unlockers, 2 coins on one of them,

4 Gold

, and

1 Food

.

[Felissan]

I return 4B for a Lumberjack; then I play a Carpenter and a Shepherd.
I was wondering why so many people only refer to their cards by their numbers when building - the ones you're building would be revealed by the next mod post anyway, so it just sounds like an unneeded hassle.

[Farren]

Two reasons on my end:

1) Consistency between card mentions, which is admittedly mostly aesthetic.
2) If I goof up and make an illegal move, it reveals less information about what I was trying to do.

[vincentw]

I'm fine with either, of course, so feel free to stick with what you prefer as long as it's clear.

Then, she placed the

The Carpenter can unlock up to 8 villagers, and also gives the Village

Finally, she placed the

Shepherd

to start off the Wool chain.
The Shepherd gives

Lastly, she placed Thatris, the beloved

Thatcher

, after the Hayer.
Same as the Mason, the Thatcher also gives

At the end of the turn, the village of

1 and 7

[vincentw]

Mist7676

chose not to return anything since they're building only

Grains

this turn.
Their first build is Villager 1, the

Swineherd

, which gives the Village

2 Gold

and

1 Food

.

Their second build is Villager 7, the

Poulterer

.
The Poulterer is unlocked with a

Carpenter

, which currently only exists in

San Felis

, so

2 coins

from Mist's supply go to Felissan's Carpenter.
The Poulterer gives the Village

3 Gold

and

1 Food

.

Both builds deactivate the

Founders

, which is a

loss.
At the end of the turn,

Nancy Drew 39 has been prodded and has (expired on 2021-03-22 08:23:00) to submit her turn.

[vincentw]

Nancy has requested V/LA. 24 hours added to the timer.
When the timer is up without any response, she'll be automatically played this turn.

She has (expired on 2021-03-23 08:23:00) to finish this Build Phase.

[vincentw]

Nancy has placed 2 villagers, but one of them needs a Basic Villager and she hasn't specified the villager from her hand to be returned, as well as the stack.

It's her first error, so the timer is amended to 24 hours from my notice to her done via PM.
She has (expired on 2021-03-23 15:18:00) to specify. Without specifying, the one that needs a Basic Villager will not be placed, following this rule:

If you're missing parts of the chain before your villager (this includes forgetting to claim Basic Villagers), that villager will not be played.

Additionally, she has specified that her V/LA would last for 3 weeks. I've noted this duration from the start of her prod on the first post.
Players, thank you for your patience. We're approaching the end of the Phase.

[Nancy Drew 39]

Place Wattler and Thatcher in stack A. Discard Tinner to get hayer.

[vincentw]

We've had a discussion over the PMs and she has the correct order of words there. Note that returning villagers should be referred to by number.

Choose stack A. Discard [villager 4] to get Hayer. Place Wattler and Thatcher.

That's a valid turn! Resolving now.

Nancy Drew 39

started by returning

Villager 4

Next, she placed the

Wattler

, which gives the Village

1 Builder

.

To cap it off, she placed the

Thatcher

after the Hayer.
The Thatcher gives the Village

2 Gold

as well as

1 Builder

.

At the end of the turn, the village of

Wisteria

has no Food, so her

Founders

switch from their

2 Gold

side to their
