About the game
What you do in a play session
The game unfolds over 14 rounds, divided into 6 stages, with a harvest at the end of each. Initially, you have two workers (you and your spouse), but new action options become available each round, broadening your possibilities. Since each action can only be taken by one player per round, planning ahead and prioritizing is crucial for success.
This edition significantly simplifies the experience of the original Agricola. Forget about stone and vegetables, and the complex improvement and occupation cards. Here, actions are available from the start, and building is more straightforward, focusing on scoring with leftover resources at the end. With no negative points or scoring limits, the goal is simply to accumulate as many points as possible with everything you've achieved. It's a great entry point into the Agricola universe, offering a more accessible and less punishing experience, somewhat reminiscent of 'Agricola: All Creatures Big and Small'. Ideal for those seeking a lighter and more direct worker placement experience.
