I vote (d6+4)x1000 pennies.

For both positive and reversed? That's an average of 7500 pennies in either direction - seems pretty high.

Honestly, I don't think the negative should be equivalent. Most of us don't have that much disposable cash.

I think the straight up and reversed cards should be equal. I am not so sure that it should just be money based on the reading of the card

Maybe Cornucopia gives +2 or +3 to every production type, and Reversed gives -2 or -3 to every Production type.

Probably +3's work best. +2's don't generate much more income.

Even +3s across the board is not really all that much. Wonder if it could be Positive doubles all production income and Reversed halves all production income.

I really like this card being a big production bonus or negative. It makes sense with wording on the card. Maybe it could be something more permanent like a settlement feature that give you a +1 or something to you production of choice. This would give you income over time. For example your sheep are really healthy and productive so you get a bonus until something happens that would change it. I don't know the math but the other option would be to give you effective admin bonuses.

That makes sense. Maybe like the red stuff up in the Farazirs, something affects my grass. It's endemic to my island.

+2 would be nice.

I could see it affecting both farming and herding. Probably not hunting or fishing.

I think it could affect hunting and fishing as well.

I imagine there could be some trickle-down. I think the idea of the island's soil being particularly healthful is cool, assuming I get it. Holy Island in Wales is known for its apples.

We tend to do +2's. I could see this card giving a +2 to Farming and Herding, and a +1 to Hunting. Fishing might be a little too far removed to get a bonus, but it might get a +1.
