Lol @ Pie Wrap. I want to soufflé's as many opposing creatures as possible. Also, I love the cake Food token. Heck, all of the food tokens are cool.

Hhm. Iffy about the translation. Adding these to the number crunch and neither the red nor black card add up in terms of the number crunch for the set at all. Alas I am not skilled at Japanese so I can't really try to translate them myself.

Cut some random Redditor who I borrowed them from some slack :P at least this way we know what the cards do, which is preferable to perfect crunch placement.

I seriously hope Pie Wrap is that card's actual English name.

Killing Fire seems like pretty good removal.

K, it ate my last post, apparently.

1. The Pie card's name could quite literally be 'Baked in a Pie'. The Japanese word used here is 'tsutsumi' (gah, Hepburn romanization) which can mean 'package'.
2. The translation is, in general, accurate.
3. I really like Beanstalk Giant. Ramp + Ramp target in one card.

Killing fire is offically Slaying Fire (from the twitch stream). Also revealed the name of a new mechanic: Adamant (which is the pay three of a specific color mechanic)

My hope is that Food has a legend tied to it. Always bummed me out that investigate/clues didn't have a Sherlock Holmes legend (it did get a regular critter). At least Lannery made Treasure tokens.

Also kinda glad they didn't go with "cook" or something to make the Food tokens, like investigate. (I guess these days we have the "create" wording, so it works much better.)

I just noticed that the bakery basket has a wolf paw right next to it. Nice subtle red riding hood reference.
