About the game
What you do in a play session
Imagine the tension of tending to your crops while zombie hordes try to trample your pumpkins. Agricola: Dead Harvest takes the essence of Uwe Rosenberg's classic and drops it into a desperate post-apocalyptic setting. Here, the goal isn't just to have the most efficient farm, but to ensure you and your family don't become undead snacks before winter hits.
The game blends rigorous resource management with the urgency of a survival game. You'll need to plan every move with precision: reloading your rifle, fortifying your property, and, of course, planting whatever is necessary to avoid starvation. The tension is constant; while you try to organize your production, the zombie threat advances relentlessly, forcing you to make tough calls between investing in farm infrastructure or immediate defense.
For Agricola veterans, you'll find the same strategic depth you love, but with a horror twist that completely shifts the dynamic. If you're new to the hobby, get ready for an intense challenge where hand management and worker placement are vital. The game offers high replayability thanks to varying threats and a dedicated solo mode, turning the experience into a true test of resilience. Can you keep your cool while the radio plays ironic tunes on the porch and the world crumbles around you? This harvest is a bloody one, and only the most organized will survive.
