About the game

What you do in a play session

In My Happy Farm, the mission is straightforward: become the best farmer around! Each player manages their own little farm, where four cute critters await attention and, of course, food. The key to success is feeding your animals well. The better nourished they are, the more they grow, becoming longer and longer... reaching unnatural lengths! Whoever has the longest animal scores bonus points, proving you're a top-notch animal breeder. But beware! If an animal doesn't get even a single bite, it gets skinny, offended, and might even leave you, stealing victory points as revenge. So, make sure to feed them well and turn your farm into the happiest one! It's a light and charming game, perfect for those who enjoy a rural theme and accessible mechanics. Hand management comes into play when deciding the right cards to feed your critters and ensure they grow healthy and long. The open drafting of cards adds a layer of interaction and strategy, as you need to keep an eye on what your opponents are picking up. And, of course, set collection is essential to maximize your points and secure victory. With a short playtime and easy-to-learn rules, My Happy Farm is a great choice for families and anyone looking for a pleasant and visually appealing game to unwind with. Get ready to watch your animals grow and hope yours becomes the champion!
