General Notes

General Game/Guide Notes:

• To get a dog, give a wolf a bone.
  
  
• Exploit of Humble beginnings pack was nerfed, as rock and tree now have a sell price of 0.
  
  
• Usually when the game says villager, it means adult. I have only used villager when it needs to be a villager. Otherwise, I will say adult. Adults can (most oftentimes) include dogs.
  
  
• If you only have 1 adult, you can spawn a second adult through the 7 card pack rule again. But this will not work if you have two people, including babies or dogs.
  
  
• Travel cart is a random event. But there is one guaranteed at Moon 20.
  
  
• A coin chest is for you coins, it will store 100 of them like a wallet. A treasure chest will take a key, and has treasure inside of it. Treasure seems to include most item cards.
  
  
• Two dogs will make another dog when put on a house. An adult and a dog will make nothing when put on the house.
  
  
• Foil cards have a shiny animation. They typically can be farmed more times and are worth more.
  
  
• Use your cards to separate enemies from each other when they spawn from portals. It will give you a better chance.
  
  
• You can also make walls of cards so that enemies cannot attack you at all. Long lines of items such as coins are ideal.
  
  
• Putting the goblet on the temple triggers the final boss fight. Make sure you are prepared. After you finish the fight, you are free to keep playing.
  
  
• On early runs, I prioritized a few sheds early on so I could stock up on food. This will increase board size.
  
  
• As of now, you can get the goblet from the catacombs or the trader, the latter may be changed in the future.
  
  
• You can keep five animals in a pen. This will keep them locked to one spot.
  
  
• Chicken + Egg = A new chicken!
  
  
• If a listed combo doesn't work, reorder the stack. Some combos needs to be in a specific order.
  
  
• You can grow plants in soil, poop, gardens, or farms.
  
  
• You can move cards when paused. You can again buy and sell them.
  
  
• You can no longer sell coin chests.
  
  
• To open treasure chests, you need keys. You can get them the trader, skeletons, slimes, or the Humble Beginnings pack.
  
  
• Building a market only allows you to sell your items, you cannot buy from it.

Other helpful notes

Food Logic

Least likely to most likely:

1. Food with status (being used, such as in a recipe, being planted, etc)
   
2. Food of which there is only 1 that is uncooked food
   
3. Food that is uncooked
   
4. Any other food

If you want to keep a specific raw food, put it under raw food you want eaten.

Babies, dogs, adults. < - Feeding order.
