Walnut Grove

Hey folks! Ready to roll up your sleeves and build your dream farm in the Wild West? In Walnut Grove, you become a farmer managing everything over 8 years, divided into 4 seasons. In spring, the land calls, and you expand your property with new terrain tiles. Summer is harvest time, sending your workers to the fields to reap the rewards of your labor. Autumn brings the hustle and bustle of the city: you can hire more hands, sell your produce, build improvements, and shop around the market – but beware, each city action has its price, and the rondel demands planning! When winter arrives, the focus shifts to ensuring food and warmth for your crew. It's a game that echoes Carcassonne's map-building but incorporates the resource and worker management of Agricola. Tiles don't need to match perfectly, but thoughtful connections maximize production. The city acts as a rondel, where each move has a cost, making optimized trips crucial. It's a tight game with limited actions and scarce resources, where every decision counts. And if you enjoy solo play, there's a solo mode to practice or just enjoy the quiet countryside. Spring, summer, and winter phases can be played simultaneously, keeping the game flowing quickly.
