Events are a game mechanic in Foundation that are triggered either randomly or by fulfilling specific conditions. They significantly alter gameplay and require immediate attention.
Annual Fair
The annual fair is an event with both positive and possible negative effects. First an envoy will appear and ask if the player wishes to host a fair for a given resource, such as 
Bread or 
Fish. If the player accepts, there will be a wave of visitors. The time that villagers remain satisfied from food is also reduced by 50%, effectively doubling their food needs.
Depending on the visitors' happiness and if they can obtain the resource in the Market, the visitors will periodically create a positive or negative effect on the happiness of the village.
By the end of the event, the visitors will leave and a reward is given. If not, the visitors will leave with no reward, and in both cases all status effects from the event will remain, but begin to slowly fade.
