Hello everyone!
I played regularly many moons ago, making use of this forum and the guides/advice that were common back then. After a long journey through other gaming and life in general, I have circled back to this old favorite and try to improve my play. I've spent some time reading through the extensive guide at the top of this page as well as a few of the other shadow games active right now (which I think are an awesome way to teach/learn!), and I think I've got some general tenets to work off of. I was hoping to siphon off some more of your collective wisdom and start building good habits with shadow game of my own. I look forward to your advice!

I feel quite blessed by RN-Jesus! HC with marble to start! My initial thought is: either SIP or settle 1E. If I move the Settler, it looks I would give up 4FP and 2 riverside forested grasslands for grassland pigs, suspiciously unforested plains, forested plains, and 3 mystery tiles. I imagine if I stayed in place and let the dry corn and floodplains carry the capital, the pigs will likely be the target for a quick second city.
Assuming there are no other obvious options, I'd move the Quecha 1 SE to get more info first.
What do y'all think?
