In the 17th century it was not an easy time to be a farmer! In Agricola, you're a farmer in a wooden shack with your spouse and little else, hoping to build a successful farm. This is a classic worker-placement game where you compete with other players for the best action spaces available on the game board. Take actions to gather resources like wood, clay, stone, reeds, vegetables, and animals or to use those resources to improve your farm. You might think about having kids in order to get more work accomplished, but first you need to expand your house. And what are you going to feed all the little rug rats? Guide your family to wealth, health and prosperity and you will win the game.
