About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey there, board game enthusiasts! If you're already a fan of the classic Agricola and have always wanted to expand your farm to accommodate more players, this expansion is for you! Now, the base game, which is already a gem of management and planning, can be played with up to six players. That's right, more people to compete for the best actions and see who builds the most prosperous farm!

This little gem brings extra wood, additional farm boards for those playing with 5 or 6 players, new terrain tiles, and food markers to feed everyone. But what truly shines are the 48 new Occupation cards and 8 additional Major Improvements. This injects new life into replayability, opening up a range of strategies you might not have imagined. To top it off, there are 4 Scotland-themed promo cards to add that special touch.

Remember that, like the base game, this expansion demands a lot from the player. The complexity increases slightly with more people at the table, but the fun of watching your farm grow and the player interaction are well worth it. If you're an Agricola fan and want more options, especially for playing with larger groups, this expansion is a perfect fit to bring new life to your gaming sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers before you buy

6 questions
Do I need the base Agricola game to use this expansion?
Absolutely! This expansion is designed to enhance your base Agricola game, adding the possibility of playing with more people and bringing new components and cards.
How many players can I play with now?
This expansion was made precisely for that! It allows you to play Agricola with up to 6 players, ideal for those who have a group that enjoys the game.
Does the game complexity increase significantly?
Slightly. With more players, competition for actions becomes more intense, and the game might take a bit longer. But the fun of increased interaction is worth it!
Does it come with many new cards?
Yes! There are 48 new Occupation cards and 8 additional Major Improvements, which bring new life and many different strategies to explore in each game.
Do I need to translate the cards?
Yes, it's important to know. This expansion has a considerable language dependency, so a full translation of the cards is necessary to play smoothly.
Is it worth it for those who only play with 2 or 3 people?
If you're looking for more card and improvement variety, yes! However, the main appeal of this expansion is indeed the ability to play with 5 or 6 people.
