I didn't know what to do with my UberBadge, so I left it as a GeekBadge.

Can we get an official word on how Ice Skate Sharpener works with the Family Growth spaces. I played this Occupation today and wanted to Family Grow at the end of the harvest. The free action doesn't use a person, so where does the newborn go? Should I leave it blocking the Family Growth space, place it in my house or on the Ice Skate Sharpener card? When can the child start taking actions?

I´m not an official but we played this deck yesterday for the first time. I would say the child starts taking action immediately after the round you used the Ice Skate Sharpener for your family growth. Put the newborn on a field of your choice - perhaps placing it on the card is helpful.

A good answer to this question was provided on the Play-Agricola.com forum [here]. User jml said the following:

i think the best ruling is to follow the village beauty ruling in the compendium.

if the fg happens after the return home phase/feeding, the newborn isn't able to take actions the next round.

the newborn is NOT placed on the fg space and is NOT blocking that space because the peep was never placed there to begin with.


Compendium on Village Beauty

"At any time, you can pay 3 food to take a family growth action without placing one of your people. You must have room in your home. You can use the newborn to take actions from the following round.
- Activates the Farm Steward, Mother of Twins, and Adoptive Parents when used.
- Does not activate the Clapper.
- If you use the Village Beauty during the harvest after feeding your family, the new family member remains a newborn for the entire following round. [ref]"
