I think you guys have a really good game and I look forward to seeing many more versions or expansion packs. A lot of good ideas have already been suggested, but I would like to add a few.

-Add cooking. Have a villager sit down or bend over to stir a small pot over an open flame. Discovering fire could be a new event or gain with science. This should cut down on laundry duties. Bathing would also mean less laundry.

-Reduce the puzzles that the golden child solves. I would like to see the "moving the boulder" event happen when you have enough villagers performing the same action at the same time to accomplish the feat. Send a scout ahead through the cave to investigate as the end of the game.

-Make the treasure a special one time code for $5 off the next version of VV. Take it out of the puzzle list, but leave the clues.
