## Rules questions

### What happens if I can't feed my family at Harvest?

You must take one Begging card for each missing Food; you may not remove family members to avoid feeding, and each Begging card costs -3 points at game end (page 4).

### Do newborn family members eat 1 or 2 Food at the next Harvest?

Newborn offspring born during the current round consume only 1 Food at that Harvest, and will require the normal 2 Food in subsequent Harvests (page 4).

### Can I convert animals to Food during Harvest without an Improvement or Occupation?

No — unprocessed animals have no Food value; animals can only be converted to Food using an Improvement or Occupation that provides an animal-to-food conversion (these conversions may be used at the indicated times; see pages 4 and 10).

### Do animals still breed if I don't have room for the baby?

Animals breed if you have at least two of the same type, but a baby animal must be accommodated in your farmyard or on an appropriate Improvement card or it runs away — you get no extra animal if there is no room (page 4).

### Do I have to Renovate my house before I can build fenced pastures?

Yes — the ability to Fence pastures becomes available after performing the Renovation action (the Stage 2 Renovation and the final Renovation allow fencing); fences cost 1 Wood each and must form fully enclosed pastures (pages 5, 10 and 6).

### When can I play Occupation or Minor Improvement cards, and do they cost Food?

You play Occupation cards only when you take an Occupation action (the action spaces specify the Food cost: e.g. in a 3-player Occupation action it costs 2 Food; in 4/5-player slots first/second Occupation may cost 1 Food and later ones 2 Food), and Minor Improvements are played when you take an action that permits them (for example the Minor Improvement action or after Renovation); when you play or buy a Major Improvement you must read its text aloud (pages 3, 5 and 10).
