Sorry, Jerry.<\/p>\n<p>With that nasty business out of the way, it&#8217;s time to build a titular wagon and get it moving, which involves playing and combining cards.

To make a plank I play a saw card with two log cards. To generate ore, I put a &#8220;human&#8221; card on a mine card. To pull my wagon I need to play an ox card on top of it and add another human to lead it.
