## Description
Agricola: The Legen*dairy Forest-Deck arrived as part of Lookout Games' 10th anniversary celebration, offering a 24‑card deck that serves as a sequel to the X‑Deck. Its goal is to sprinkle fairy‑tale, legend and forest‑creature flavor onto the Agricola board – from unicorns to witches, dragons and even the Spanish Inquisition, all with a wink. At game start, shuffle the cards into a Forest Deck. Whenever a player harvests three or more wood in a single action (whether taking the 3/4 wood space or clearing accumulated wood), they draw the top card and resolve its effect. The cards range from immediate effects that shift the round’s flow, to minor improvements, new occupations and fresh action spaces. Some surprises may lurk, so stay on your toes. The component is just cards, but it adds a layer of unpredictability and narrative to the base game, encouraging fun storytelling around the hearth. It requires the base Agricola and, like most Rosenberg expansions, assumes a moderate grasp of the core rules. Perfect for players who already know the game and want to spice up sessions with themed events without overhauling the core mechanics. Playtime stays around two hours for 1‑5 players, and the light weight (about 2.5/5) keeps the addition approachable even for those who shy away from heavy games. In short, the Forest Deck provides a light, tasty way to refresh Agricola, injecting humor and a dash of fantasy into the farmers' daily grind.
