Most of the cards in Agricola are based on real things or people, and the abilities seem rooted in the theme of the card.

However, I would be curious as to how the keg relates to the guest.

Did guests at that time bring a keg with their visit? I mean, people do often bring beer or wine to social gatherings with friends and family.

Dave, I assumed that the guests were *attracted* by the keg.  Free beer, dude!  It should work just as well in 17th century Germany as it does here!

I actually think it’s pretty clever theming.

I never considered it that way! That’s VERY cool.

I’ve really liked the Z deck cards.

That was the plan, Larry. Also, they are possibly too drunk to resist being roped in to perform a chore ;)
