Agricola: Farmers of the Moor

Agricola: Farmers of the Moor arrives as the biggest expansion for the revised edition of Agricola, bringing a slew of new content that makes the farm feel even more alive. The headline addition is horses, a new animal type that can be bred, fed, and used as a valuable resource. But the innovation doesn’t stop there: each family now has to keep every room in their house heated, otherwise members become "ill" and lose points. To generate fuel, players can fell forest on their yard or harvest peat from the marshes, creating an interesting trade‑off between expanding wood production and preserving land for other uses. Classic Agricola mechanics—worker placement, tableau building, and hand management—remain, but are complemented by an enclosure mechanic that lets you fence pastures and protect livestock. Open drafting gives everyone the same pool of improvement cards, making choices more strategic. Playtime ranges from 30 to 120 minutes depending on player count (1‑4, or up to 6 if you also have the 5‑6 player expansion). The game’s weight stays high (BGG 3.9), perfect for fans of detailed planning and long‑term decisions. Components are top‑quality, featuring wooden fence pieces, peat tokens, and horse miniatures. In short, Farmers of the Moor deepens the original experience, adding layers of depth without overcomplicating the core rules.
