gamenerdz.comBoy, they've really been trying to clear their Uwe inventory lately, or something.

I'm certainly not complaining!

Yeah keep it coming! Give me ALL the Uwentory.

Tempting, feel like it's hard to justify owning Agricola and my favorite FFO. Dice Tower says it's like Caverna and I feel that if I threw money at this I'd probably rather it be Caverna which has a lot more popularity and I've never played it yet.
4
This is my personal favorite Uwe. It has commonalities with Agricola and Caverna, but IMO it's different enough to justify owning. I'd also point out that's it's nice to have a heavier game that's specifically made to play with 2-players (it plays up to three players with the expansion), but that's certainly a situational benefit.
5
This is the reason I keep it. I love having a heavy game specific to two players. However, I did pick up the Tea & Trade expansion so I’ll have to try it out with 3 soon.
1
I think it's probably a better game than either of them, though it's quite a bit heavier. It's tough to justify both caverna and Agricola, though this is a fair departure from either. FFO is my favorite uwe for sure.
3
FWIW, Agricola, Arle, and aFFO are the three Uwe games I own. They're all three so different that they earn a spot in my collection.
3
Heh, same here.
I also had Nusfjord but sold it. Was an enjoyable game but didn't feel like it was doing anything better than the other three so didn't see the point in keeping it.
1
Omfg if I had money I’d get 2 more copies at this prices just bc it’s so fucking good get it absolutely if you don’t own it ffs

How different is solo in terms of rules?
2
Solo plays 100% the same except you're not allowed to take an action in the other season.
A standard game allows one player (first come) to snag a spot from the opposite season if they so choose, and by doing so forfeiting being first in turn next round.
Solo has you placing your 4 workers same as you would, but you're exclusively stuck in the current season. That's it.
5
Awesome thank you. I dig minimal changes to the rule set. Still a pretty steep price :\

Absolutely worth it in my opinion, and this price can't be beat. It's a wonderfully relaxing, yet thinky game that's a wide open sandbox of options. There's not the most variability with the building setups each game, but there's enough that it adds even more avenues for play. Hell, you can just remove the buildings altogether and play a game with a ton of different routes alone. AND if you're picking this up solo there has been (unsure if it's still been consistent) community challenges each month that are great ways to mix things up.

I already have Ora et Labora and The Colonists...and Agricola. Do I need to push more wood, clay, and sheep around with FoA?

I just paid $66 two weeks ago. Bummer.
If your looking for a worker placement that doesn’t use cards this is a good option. I added the tea expansion and it adds some additional elements including the option to play 3 people.
2
Where did you pick up the expansion?
1
Amazon had it on sale for $29 last week. Just looked it up and it’s now $47.
I thought $29 was a fair price but $47 seems a bit steep. It adds a 3rd player option, tea and ships, and ditches.

Added to my CCC watch list. Thanks :)
1
ughhhh recently picked up both Nusfjord and Hallertau (and have had Feast for awhile)...really can't justify another Uwe game just now but dang is this tempting.
2
awww i missed it
2
For people who are worried that it may be too similar to agricola or a feast for odin, don't worry about that. It has a very different feel. Its a chill game. Agricola and a feast for odin are panic inducing. They are my number one and number two games. Arle got purged. I can see how people would love it, but I need games with a sense of urgency. I will say I love the authentic of it though. Beautiful game.

Such a great game, and that is an AMAZING price!

Of course this deal drops just the week after I release my huge yearlong GN hold....
But I have Feast for Odin coming, so I can't complain too much. This had been my most-wanted Uwe game for quite a while, but my desire for it cooled once they gave it a middling review on the Sit Down and Shut Up podcast.

they tend to not like euros and who gives a f what the british comedians think anyways.

I was literally looking to buy this last night and was wondering if I should pull the trigger but every store had it for $70.
Thankfully I waited and I snatched this up the moment it went in stock. Needed a $45 item to reach the shipping threshold on some holds so it’s a total win!
Good work!
I forgot it was noon. Luckily it was still in stock at 12:15!
It drops at 10 AM for me. It works as my alarm clock to go to work lmao
I didn't see the starting stock, but 21 mins in, still 74 in stock.
It was about 140 in stock at the start
