Asphodel joined the game in slot 3

Asphodel: hi, I'm uh, kinda really new so don't laugh when I lose hehe

Mitch-A-Palooza: no sweat....i wont laugh

tartarus.guard: have you played another version of mule or read the online instructions?

Asphodel: I watched the video, played one with a guy helping a little

Asphodel: never played a different version

tartarus.guard: if you've watched the video you're good to dive in a game :)

tartarus.guard: once we get one more player we'll get going.

Asphodel: yeah, my main thing that I don't really understand yet is how prices vary and auctioning and things like that.

Asphodel: or

Asphodel: what I should build

Asphodel: like, should I have some of everything? or just focus on food and buy whatever else I neef

tartarus.guard: prices vary based on what players are willing to pay and what the store predicts players will want next turn

Mitch-A-Palooza: after you play a few games you'll get the hang of it quickly

tartarus.guard: something to keep in mind when deciding to buy or sell is what the resource does

tartarus.guard: food is needed to give you time to move during your turn, no food and you get very little time. so food has more value at the start of the game when people are building a lot then it does the last few turns typically.

tartarus.guard: energy is required to run all your factories that don't produce energy. so if players aren't providing enough energy for themselves then energy costs rise

tartarus.guard: smithore is needed to build mules, so as the store runs out of mules and smithore the price on smithore can rise
