We missed this in our playthrough. 32:05 Rule Clarification - The bonus from visiting each location (such as drawing 2 cards when visiting Greenvale) should be taken immediately before the forage phase begins. 52:54 Oakley’s (squirrel) ability was missed. If there’s another critter at your foraging location when foraging you get to draw an extra 2 cards from your deck.
