Low Price Agricola ZMG 7026

This is one of my favorite games currently.

You start with 2 family members (playing pieces in your color) and a little bit of land. Players take turns placing their family members on action spaces on the board and collecting or using the resources as indicated. Once everyone has placed their family members, they are all returned "home" (removed from the action spaces), a new action space becomes available, and the next round starts.

It's important to prioritize your actions, and to pay attention to what other people may need, as you can't place your family members on action spaces that are already occupied.

You use resources to build buildings and fences, grow grain and vegetables, and raise sheep, pigs, and cows- as well as to feed and grow your family. The biggest and most diverse farm at the end wins (you score points for almost everything you do).

I strongly prefer the "family" game rules (the "non-family" game has everyone start with a hand of 14 cards that do various things, in addition to the normal available actions), as I feel the cards add a lot more options without adding much depth of strategy (and especially for beginners, the "non-family" game is just 14 cards worth of confusion).

This is a challenging game, takes a couple of hours on average to play, and has tons of replayability (and it's fun to watch your little farm grow as the game progresses).Get more detail about Agricola ZMG 7026.
