Villagers • The Second Market • Who is the winner?

[vincentw]

Thank you for confirming!

Mist7676

began by returning Villagers

7

and

5

, both going to Stack A, in exchange for a

Lumberjack

and a

Miner

.
The Road gets updated accordingly.

Face-down villagers (30 in Reserve)

Basic Villagers
Miner	9
Hayer	10
Lumberjack	8

They then placed Villager 6, the

Blacksmith

, which goes after the Miner.
The Blacksmith gives the Village

2 Gold

.

Finally, they placed Villager 2, the

Cooper

, which goes after the Lumberjack.
The Cooper is unlocked with the Blacksmith, which was placed just now, so Mist's Blacksmith received

2 coins

from the Bank.
The Cooper gives the Village

4 Gold

.

The turn ended. Because the Village is now left with no food, the

Founders

flip for

-2 Gold

and

1 Food

.
The village of

Mystic

thus experienced a net change of

4 Gold

and

1 Food

.
Here's how the Village looks after the turn.

Clarification on Windmill (dev)

Ore Chain
Miner
A	X
B
▼ C

Because it may cause confusion, I want to clarify that for the purposes of evaluating who gets the Windmill, chains with two branches only count as one chain altogether. As an example, the table to the left is counted as one chain, not two.

The Developments section in the first post has been updated to reflect this. You still need two or more villagers per chain for the chain to be counted.

Farren has submitted his turn via PM:

0a) Discard Villager 3 to Stack F in exchange for a Lumberjack.
0b) Discard Villager 5 to Stack F in exchange for a Hayer.
0c) Discard Villager 1 to Stack F in exchange for another Lumberjack.
1) Play the Carpenter on top of the first Lumberjack.
2) Play the Poulterer on top of the Founders (using my Carpenter to unlock it).

This will be resolved in the next post.

[vincentw]

Farren

started by returning Villagers

3

,

5

, and

1

, all of which going to Stack F, in exchange for two

Lumberjack

s and a

Hayer

.
The Basic Villagers are very much in demand!

Hayer	9
Lumberjack	6

Then, he placed the

Carpenter

, going after the first Lumberjack.
The Carpenter gives the Village

1 Builder

.

Finally, he placed the

Poulterer

, which goes after the

Founders

.
The Poulterer is unlocked with the Carpenter, which have been made available just now. Farren's Carpenter redeemed

2 coins

from the Bank.
The Founders go inactive for

-2 Gold

, while Poulterer gives the Village

3 Gold

and

1 Food

.

The turn ended with the village of

Riverton

gaining

1 Gold

,

1 Food

, and

1 Builder

.

[Felissan]

I return 4B, 1B and 2E, for one of each basic villager.
Then, I play a Shipwright and a Thatcher, and flip my founders to the 1 Food side.

[vincentw]

Felissan

started by returning Villagers

4

,

1

, and

2

to Stacks B, B, and E respectively. She called forth one of each Basic Villager.
Let's see what that did:

The Road

Face-down villagers (30 in Reserve)
Solitary 3 in stack A	Leather 10 in stack B 1st Market	Leather 8 in stack C	Solitary 8 in stack D	Hay 9 in stack E	Wool 11 in stack F 2nd Market

 

Basic Villagers
Miner	8
Hayer	8
Lumberjack	5

Next, she placed the

Shipwright

, going after the Lumberjack.
The Shipwright gives the Village

2 Gold

and

1 Builder

.

Lastly, she placed the

Thatcher

, which goes after the Hayer.
The Thatcher also gives the Village

2 Gold

and

1 Builder

.

That's her turn. With the Village not having any Food, the

Founders

flip for

-2 Gold

and

1 Food

.
The village of

Lovickhem

ended up with

2 Gold

,

1 Food

, and

2 Builders

more than what it started.
Here's how the Village looks after the turn.

That's the end of Build Phase 1, and the first round.

The Basic Villagers were exchanged like crazy this round, we're down to only half the amount of Lumberjacks! The next rounds could prove to be very interesting. The Unlockers, one more time:

Which Unlocker can you find in…
Exsecant Sirius9121	Mystic Mist7676	Riverton Farren	Lovickhem Felissan
Carpenter	Blacksmith 2¢ Cooper	Carpenter 2¢	Shipwright

Development Phase 1

follows.

[vincentw]

Development Phase 1

After drafting and building, let's see to whom the Developments fall.
We'll be revealing the Developments and the race for each one simultaneously.

Developments

*Must have 2+ villagers in the chain to count. Chains with two branches only count as one chain, not two.
^The Reserve is also available to be picked. It'll be shown when it's time.

Technology
Windmill The most chains * 2 coins • 1 Food
Standings
Mystic	2
Riverton	2
Lovickhem	2
Exsecant	1

 

Mercantile
Marketplace The most Food 5 coins
Standings
Exsecant	1
Mystic	1
Riverton	1
Lovickhem	1

 

Community
Church The most villagers in Village 3 coins • 1 face-down villager^
Standings
Riverton	6
Lovickhem	6
Mystic	5
Exsecant	4

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like anyone lucked out on a Development this time. While Farren held the lead for the Church on his turn, Felissan successfully blocked him on her turn. The other two went about as expected with everyone getting the same number of Build Actions. Perhaps the next round might prove more fortuitous to some.

[vincentw]

We finished the first round in a little over two days, which is very quick! Thanks everyone for being super responsive.
Moving swiftly on, here's how everyone's doing prior to Draft Phase 2. Check your PMs for your hands!

Order	Player	Village Name	Coins	Draft	Build	Hand
1st	Mist7676	Mystic	8	3	2
2nd	Farren	Riverton	8	3	3
3rd	Felissan	Lovickhem	8	3	4
4th	Sirius9121	Exsecant	6	3	3

---

Draft Phase 2

A full round has elapsed, but new opportunities await.
Everyone with three picks now, which means that there's just enough villagers remaining on the first two stacks to prevent the First Market from happening at the end of this round. Plenty of time to strategise!

The first player rotates, which means we're starting with the village of

Mystic

.
