Through the Seasons
...is an additional game board for Agricola with a space for each of
the four seasons. Only one of these spaces is ever available. This
variant can be played with the Family or the Full game. At the start
of the game, place a Guest marker on the space that shows the
current Season. At the start of each round, this marker is moved
to the next Season, which introduces a different Action space.
Depending on the Season, different quantities of Building resources
are placed on the Action spaces on the main board. Turn the other
two Guest markers to the "Claim marker" (Arrow) side. Use these to
show which Action spaces have a Special rule for the current Season.

are placed on Action spaces: first distribute the resources as usual,
then remove or add them as required by the Season.
