:star: Would a veggie draw at the end of Round 10 won me the game? Hmm...
It looks like you would not have been able to pay for the Clay Path when you "wished for children" in R12, but I have a proposal to fix that problem:
1. In R12, FG + no minor (or another minor you may have had that wouldn't cost you anything important).
2. In R14, after your Mason room is added, instead of taking 1 cow, FG+Clay Path.
• By R14, you have the clay for Clay Path due to Clay Hut Builder.
• You end the game with 1 food, so you could feed the baby with no additional actions.
• Yon baby is worth +1vp over the cow.
• The veggie is +2vp over no veggie (as you know).
• Gain: 3vp
Your opponents each end the game with no cows, so maybe one of them would have taken it (for 2vp) if you'd left it. However—cards-in-hand notwithstanding—I don't see any 0vp or 1vp moves that your opponents could have dropped in favor of taking 1 cow.
The final score might very well have been:
norse: 35
bryons: 36
MisterG: 38
Thanks for the report/puzzle!
