That's true - thank you for the reminder. I'll avoid the horses, pigs and ponds for a while, and go about my game. If I hit any old monsters doing so, I'll have the silver tokens in my pocket. I'll collect from Lorelei and the sword because that's just two energy and one or two gold tokens. As it stands, I should win the LB and get 20 trade tickets. If I drop down a bit I can use the energy I've started to rebuild (slowly) to go back to glimmers and earn those trade tickets while also getting a couple more gold tokens.
Not so soppy - I appreciate the reminder and will definitely put the game away while I'm spending time with family this weekend and my Monday off. Playing casually is much better for me.
