- benj111 4y agoYou mean the fox, chicken and grain problem? I wonder if this just gets localised to typical staple, typical predator and its prey? I guess cabbage and wolf is eastern Europe / Germany?

- gspr 4y agoNorway has wolf, sheep and various things the sheep eat (I've seen variants cabbage and bales of grass). We also have a variation where everyone shifts down a step and there's a missionary "above" the wolf.
