In Agricola, players get to experience how hard a farmer's life was in the 17th century. At the beginning of the game, the players have an empty yard, a two-room wooden cabin and two family members working. At the end of the game, hopefully, there will be a big family in a big stone house, a yard full of animal pastures and fertile fields. In the worst case scenario, the starving family still lives in that woodshed and begs to live...
"Papupeli" BohnanzastatutunUwe Rosenberg's interesting farming game is a massive pile of wooden components and cards. The game's 120 cards ensure that there is plenty of variety. Agricola is also an excellent solo game.
For lovers of resource management games, this most popular and praised board game of the end of 2007 is an excellent choice. Agricola is actually suitable for quite a variety of players: lovers of optimization games enjoy the game, on the other hand, Agricola has a strong theme and a good sense of construction.
The game does not offer everything for those who only want a direct struggle between players, in Agricola the competition with other players is indirect and the players mainly focus on building their own farm; competing on the same raw material market, of course. This game also appeals to many who have played less board games, developing a farm is simply such a fun thing to do.
