The FAQ says that
"(a total of 73 games is required to earn all event rewards)"

Which sounds good until you realize that it's a total lie. In fact, you need 73 games to get all the items for the cloudrow to work.

I didn't calculate how many games you would need in order to earn all the event rewards but, say, if you wanted the Piccolo box you would need to play 38 games more. If you wanted both Loch Lomond wonder stables, you would need 32 more games. And so on.

And to get all the event rewards from the right side, no one can really tell because it's up to your luck with the dice. After 70 games I've got nearly 11000 points and you need 25000 points to get everything. The rest of the points would be slower to earn because I've already got nearly all the bonuses.

 

I found this event to be fun and we had different ways to get both Shaker drops and Luck dice. I also liked that to get the original prizes on the left side, we did not need a huge amount of crops! But My favorite thing is, that on the point side we could actually
get the beautiful Quetzal pen and the Goliath Beetle! Soooo much better than the pens that "might" turn into something good!
I also loved the art design, job well done to the whole team!

 

Nothing bad to say about this event! No need to rip apart one's farm, decent amount of crops needed to mill items to play mini-games, super fast mini-game to play, decent prizes, open for ultra fast players to squeeze more things out of the event. Just a perfect thing for the busy life of all!

Not a fan of having this intertwinded with the Tiger Neon Breeding Event, mainly because not all players could have rip benefits out by breeding tigers to get the lucky dice. With no Happy Discount Day, breeding other animals was quite expensive power feed wise. Also, I have mixed feelings about having to play 73 mini-games to get the necessary Star Coins to get the givers for the cloud row when the Piccolo top prize was offered after 70 mini-games... This can be confusing for players that thing they've reached the cloud row after 65 mini-games but need to put more effort to play 8 more to finally active it. The really small print size of that fact listed under a huge image just makes me think about insurance policies and their exclusions...

 

Overall, I enjoyed the event and despite a slow start, reached all rewards on left side and got the Quetzal with points! I also prefer an actual item rather than random Wonder rewards. Appreciate the strategy suggestion for which dice to keep in another thread as I usually have little luck with dice rolls. Mini-game worked seamlessly and quickly! Graphics are cute - as are the CR givers. I wait for trees to harvest before milling dice cups. About 1/3 of my field is trees which I mulch and harvest twice a day; average 5-8 lucky dice per harvest.

 

I enjoyed this event - I usually inwardly groan when I see a "points" side but I actually finished it and did a few extra games. This was particularly astounding as I have been away for three weeks!

I used Comfort Fields with SG and SSG and aimed for three harvests a day, mostly achieved, and occasionally used SG with 202 1x1s to get the extra crops needed (and when I was not otherwise engaged!).

Why was I playing Farmerama while on holiday? Because the prizes were sooo good. I like "actual" items and not the promise of something ... by the way, I didn't get anything especially good from these, most were the same thing (four Wonder Trees gave me four Franklinia! A couple were XXLs but even so!).
I would say this is how an event should be - good prizes, achievable for the higher levels and good prizes for the lower levels.

 

I too enjoyed this event very much. Love the dice game as it is quick to play and for once I was able to totally finish both sides of the event plus more and get all the rewards (including the shop). I did use a bit of SG to achieve this but had plenty in storage and then converted to trees (two harvests per day) to get lucky dice. I thought the rewards on the right-hand side where excellent and much preferred to get actual stables (Quetzal and Goliath Beetle) rather than just a chance of maybe getting something good from a WS which seems to be a bit rare these days. The only thing I'm not a fan of lately is we seem to now get three stickers during an event instead of the previous one. I like one sticker as a reward but if I'm working hard in an event I really don't need any more than that.

Game graphics were nice and play very smoothly. Well done team and thank you
