About the game
The Goodies Expansion is a bundle of add‑ons that only works if you already own the base Agricola game. It introduces four themed decks – X, Ö, CZ and L – each bringing new occupations, minor improvements and event cards. The X‑Deck contains 24 alien‑encounter cards drawn whenever a player visits the stone quarry, adding a sci‑fi twist to the farm. The Ö‑Deck adds 12 occupations and 12 minor improvements, featuring quirky characters like the wunderkind and the singing Alpine family. The CZ‑Deck celebrates the Czech Republic with occupations and improvements inspired by historic figures and events, illustrated in the style of Josef Lada. The mysterious L‑Deck holds 15 cards (missing L11 and L13) whose exact theme remains undefined, leaving room for player imagination. Beyond the decks, the expansion supplies five double‑sided boards – Western, Spring, Autumn, Winter and Mars – for alternative scenarios, a 70‑sticker sheet (adults, children, one alien and one werewolf) and wooden meeples (vegetables, anime characters, and resource tokens). Components were released in English and Spanish, but most have only circulated in Germany, so a full translation may be needed for Portuguese players. It’s a fun way to freshen up your Agricola without altering the core worker‑placement mechanics.
