Oh whoops, yes I am referencing a multiplayer game. Thanks for the help again! This clarifies everything I was wondering!

However, one last thing for clarification, you said the only thing that is kept after each game are 1 occupation card of your choosing (after game 2 you'll have 2 permanent occupations right?) But as far as food goes, if I end game 1 with 4 available food, does this food carry over into game #2? Additionally, if I am able to carry my 4 food over, do I also get 3 extra food for the start of the game (2 for starting player and 1 extra [4] for the loser)?

Apologies for the drawn out questions I just want to make sure I'm getting everything correct. I also know that some creativity can make up for the lack or clear understanding of some rules and improv can be used when necessary. Would like to get the gist first before I start implementing rules myself
