@29:50 I know we had a good space for Baboon Rock but is it actually even that useful here? It seems like this could have been an excellent spot to just break while we have no further good moves this round and opponent has multiple (their impending Sponsors action + Cards + debatably Build).
I think breaking or playing Baboon Rock are both fine plays. Here's my reasoning for choosing to play it. 1. It helps me cover the Hs faster. 2. There's a decent chance I get another playable sponsor, which in turn gives me more useful actions to do this round. 3. Because I'm getting an x-token from it I'm not stuck in the round forever. I can break in 2 moves by doing Cards + break 3. 4. Cards is still a useful action for the round, even if I will have to discard. Flamingo and Barred Owl Hut are mediocre cards, I can hit better things (and I do). 5. It's not guaranteed they have a sponsor, so there's a chance they may just break 5 anyway. With the power of hindsight Baboon Rock ended up being worth 6 points and helped me cover the Hs faster. I'd do it again
