Agricola

The G-Deck is now ready to play!! (English and German translations are currently available for this deck) Winner of Pocket Tactics’ “Board Game of the Year 2013”! Europe is just beginning to recover from difficult times. You and your partner must turn your two-room cottage and empty farmyard into a productive farm. You’ll need to plant and harvest crops, raise animals, and grow your family to succeed. 17th-century Europe: a tough time for farmers! “Agricola” is a family-friendly strategy game. Easy to understand and full of fun—in “Agricola,” everyone plays until the very end to see who can build the most productive farm. Easy to Play “Agricola” is a turn-based game played in six phases and 14 rounds. On their turn, players place a family member token on a location in town to gather resources or perform actions that improve their farm. You can gather building materials like wood and clay, plow fields and sow grain, or build fences to keep animals. At the start of each round, new actions become available, and resources used up in the previous round are replenished. During harvest, crops are brought in, newborn animals are added, and you must feed your family. As your family grows, you have more actions, but you also have more mouths to feed! The player with the most productive and most advanced farm at the end of the 14 rounds is the winner. Victory points are awarded for the number of your fields and pastures, as well as for grain and animals. Additional points are awarded for expanding and renovating the family home, for the number of family members, and for playing profession and improvement cards. For each unused farm space, a player loses one point. “Agricola,” an award-winning board game and a player favorite since 2007, is now available as a universal game app. “Agricola” is brought to you by Playdek and sets new standards for board games on the iPad.
