Agricola is a board game manufactured by Z-Man Games that gained rapid popularity with avid gamers for its complexity and diverse strategies. The game starts with each player established as a farmer living in a wooden shack with a spouse and not much else. The game weighs heavily on cards, and players have to plan and use resources as they move through the seasons, attempting to cultivate a profitable farm. The resources are finite, which means that players have to plan and strategize, competing against each other as they try and decide what to do with their land and how to plan their businesses.
Agricola’s play proceeds by taking turns, drawing cards, and playing actions. You can decide to plant crops, raise cattle, or do a number of other occupations depending on what cards you draw and where you land. The game has a number of different editions with varying levels of difficulty that build off the same premise. The strategies are endless, from deciding how and when to raise a family, to dealing with natural disasters, to storing food and other goods needed to get through the long, cold winters. Whether adding on to your humble house, deciding how many kids to have, planning a crop cycle, or looking to branch out into new areas of business, the game poses no end of choices and dilemmas. The game is suitable for players from age 12 and up.
