I need 2 wood, so I'll offer fish in trade since they're worth less to me. I'll propose giving 3 fish for 1 wood to a couple of people, like Rowan and Marcus, to secure what I need even if they might also want wood themselves.

Trading 1 wood for 3 fish nets me a solid gain since I only need 1 wood for the tent and already have 3 to spare. The tent also needs 4 cloth and I'm way short there, so fish seem like the better value overall—I'll accept the trade.

Marcus's trade of 3 fish for 1 nail seems worth taking since nails aren't useful to me anyway. I still need rope and cloth, so I'm thinking about offering nails for rope, and considering trading cloth to Theo in exchange for fish. For rope, Mara and Rowan both have some, so I'll offer Rowan 4 fish for 1 rope. For cloth, I'll offer Theo 3 fish for 1 cloth.

I'm short one wood and one rope against my target. Mara's fish-for-wood trade isn't worth it since I need to keep that wood, so I'll decline and instead try offering fish in exchange for the rope I'm missing.

Building the tent seems unlikely given my resources, so instead I'll sell my two ropes for fish — 5 from Nia and 4 from Felix, netting 9 fish total. I'll also go ahead and deliver the wood to Mara regardless of what's owed, just to maintain reliability.

I should decline both trades since I lack enough wood and nails, deliver the fish to O4, and look into offering more fish to Rowan or Mara to get rope.

I don't need the cloth myself, so accepting O8 for 3 fish while giving up 1 cloth seems fine. Next I'll look at getting nails and rope by offering more fish—maybe trade Marcus 4 fish for 2 nails, and check what Mara has, since she holds rope and nails too.

Outside act, discarded: Deliver theo (they delivered). Hold rowan until rope arrives.

Rowan still hasn't delivered, so I'll hold my side until they do. I should try another trade with Mara instead, offering her 4 fish for 1 wood since she seems to have picked some up.

I'll deliver O2 and decline the other offers, since I still need one more wood. I should try offering extra fish to Theo or Marcus in exchange for wood.

Rope is clearly the bottleneck since mara and rowan each hold 2. I'm thinking of sweetening the offer to mara with 8 fish for a rope, since fish is worth 1 point each against the cabin's 24, and considering the same offer to rowan once they respond.

I need exactly 3 wood, so I should decline O15 since rope is scarce — my sledge plan seems infeasible, but selling fish still works. I'll try offering nails to Nia instead, and if Marcus declines again, maybe Rowan will trade rope for fish.

Rowan still hasn't delivered, so I'll hold off there for now — maybe send a message to check in. In the meantime, I could offer Mara a rope in exchange for fish.

Rowan got fish from others, not me, so I'll keep holding mine. Let me try offering Nia fish for wood, since she has some wood available and Theo tends to hold onto his.

I should decline both offers since wood is too valuable to give up cheaply. Instead I'll counter with a better fish ratio—maybe offering 6 fish for 1 wood to Rowan and Felix, since Rowan already has some wood but others still need it.

With only 2 rope, I should decline Marcus's fish offer and consider just delivering since giving away rope costs nothing in score terms if the project's abandoned anyway—though I need to weigh whether keeping the rope as leverage is worth more than the delivery outcome.

I only have one spare wood, so I can only fulfill one trade. Mara's offer of 7 fish beats Felix's 5 fish plus nails, so I'll accept Mara's deal and pay Rowan.

I need one more wood to deliver fish to Rowan, and the boat trade nets more value than giving up now. Let me think about who might trade wood for fish—maybe Marcus has spare wood, or I could try Theo with 7 fish for 1 wood.

Since Nia still owes the wood, I'll hold off on delivering my side for now rather than risk a one-sided exchange, and just send her a message about it this turn.

I could offer to trade wood, nails, or cloth for fish, but maybe it's simplest to just pass this turn instead.

Rope is scarce across the group—rowan's out, most others have only 1-2. Since felix wants wood but I need mine, I'll try offering him 8 fish for rope instead, and also offer nia 7 fish for her rope.

I should decline Marcus's request since I need the rope myself. Mara hasn't paid up yet despite promising to on her next turn, so I'll hold onto the wood until she does.

Wood seems scarce since everyone's hoarding it. I'll try offering rowan 8 fish for just 1 wood, since he has some to spare and might not need it for his project.

Wood's worth around 28 to me, and the fish cost of 7 is fine. There's some risk she doesn't send it if I deliver first, but time's running short, so I'll just go ahead and deliver the fish.

Outside act, discarded: Accept: I get 6 fish plus a nail for 1 wood.

Rope is scarce right now. I could try Theo, who has rope but wants nails — I'd need 3 for myself though. Maybe instead I offer him fish, like 6, in exchange for rope, and send him a message about it.

The sledge plan looks weak since nobody will trade for nails, and selling the wood or rope for fish only nets a small gain while sacrificing the project entirely. With no viable path to the sledge, it seems better to just accept both fish offers and keep the current score.

I'll pay theo honestly and give the fish, leaving 2 left. I don't need Rowan's wood right now, so I'll hold off on O29 until he delivers.

Nia still hasn't delivered wood, and I'm down to 2 fish. Rowan doesn't have rope so can't complete a trade either, but I could offer them my cloth plus fish in exchange for wood. I'll nag Nia again and turn down Marcus's offer.

I have 2 wood and owe Felix 1. Mara's offer of trading wood for cloth plus fish works for me since I don't need the wood anyway—I'll accept and deliver both. Felix only has 2 fish, not enough to cover 6, but since wood is worthless to me, I'll deliver regardless.

Outside act, discarded: Theo delivered, so I'll honor the deal.

Outside act, discarded: Holding fish is the safest play now.

For O32, the cloth and fish aren't actually needed for the project, so delivering just costs 2 fish — that's a fair trade, so I'll deliver.

I only have 2 fish but owe Rowan 6, so I can't fulfill that delivery — attempting it would likely just get rejected. I'll hold off instead.

I can't deliver fish right now. Nails are a single-side bundle so that won't work either - I'll need to hold off.
