Brothers

About this board game

Brothers is a 15-minute board game for 2–4 players, released in 2018, about peaceful farmers whose herds have outgrown their pasture.

As the animals become too numerous for the available space, each player must place their enclosures with care. The goal is not simply to manage your own growing herd, but to anticipate what another player needs and make their task more difficult.

In Brothers, clever placement is the heart of the challenge. Outsmart your brother—or your other opponents—by arranging your enclosures so they cannot correctly place theirs. Every decision can affect the space still available and determine who has the best plan for handling the family’s cattle.

• Players: 2–4
• Play time: 15 minutes
• Central challenge: Place enclosures while disrupting your opponents’ plans

The game turns an everyday farming problem into a compact contest of positioning and foresight. Watch the available pasture, consider how enclosure placement changes the situation, and try to stay one step ahead of the other farmers.

With its short playing time and focused objective, Brothers offers a direct test of who has the best head for cattle in the family. Place wisely, block effectively, and aim to be the farmer whose plan comes together when the pasture starts to feel too small.
