Rules + Sample Board
With the advent of qqzm/AgricolaStartingHandGenerator, Occupation and Minor Improvement cards are viable.
We should establish which decks we're drawing cards from. May I suggest a [random assortment of all 4 decks], including the recently-added expansion Gamers' Deck? --AlexChurchill
An example player's board partway through the game could look like this:
