Description
In Agricola (Latin for “farmer”), you're a farmer in a wooden shack withyour spouse and little else. On a turn, you get to take only two actions, onefor you and one for the spouse, from all the possibilities you'll find on afarm: collecting clay, wood or stone; building fences; and so on. You mightthink about having kids in order to get more work accomplished, but first youneed to expand your house. And what are you going to feed all the little rugrats? Agricola is a turn based game. There are 14 game turns plus 6 harvestphases (after turn 4, 7, 9, 11, 13, and 14). Each player starts with two playingtokens (farmer and wife) and thus can take two actions per turn. There aremultiple options, and while the game progresses, you'll have more and more:first thing in a turn, a new action card is flipped over. Problem: Each actioncan be taken just once per turn, so it's important to do some things with highpreference. Each player also starts with a hand of 7 Occupation cards (of morethan 160 total) and 7 Minor Improvement cards (of more than 140 total) thathe may use during the game if they fit in his/her strategy. This amounts tocountless strategies, some depending on your card hand. Sometimes it's a goodchoice to stay on course, sometimes you better react on what your opponents do.Agricola can also be played without cards (family game) and can even be playedsolo.
