Agra

About this board game

Agra is a board game for 2–4 players, with games lasting about 120 minutes. Set in India in 1572, it places ambitious landowners in the city of Agra as they seek greater stature and wealth before Akbar the Great’s 30th birthday celebration.

Notables and emissaries from across the country are traveling toward the capital, creating a valuable opportunity for those who can impress them. Each player manages land in Agra, cultivating and harvesting cotton and turmeric, while also using a forest to produce wood and a profitable sandstone quarry to obtain additional resources.

Through trading and processing, basic wares can become more luxurious goods. These valuable products can then be used to woo notables as they make their way toward Akbar’s festivities. Rival landowners are pursuing the same goal, so careful decisions and clever timing are essential as the celebration draws near.

• Play with 2–4 ambitious landowners.
• Cultivate cotton and turmeric on your land.
• Produce wood from a forest and sandstone from a quarry.

Against the backdrop of Akbar’s expanding Mughal Empire, Agra combines resource development, commerce, and competition in a richly historical setting. The player who best uses their opportunities and outsmarts their rivals can rise in stature and wealth before the emperor’s birthday celebration.

With its focus on harvesting, production, trade, and influence, Agra offers a substantial strategic experience for groups seeking a detailed historical board game.
