Farmerama

About this board game

Farmerama is a board game for 1–4 players, with a playing time of about 70 minutes. Based on the popular videogame and designed by Uwe Rosenberg, it challenges players to sow and harvest crops, feed livestock, and earn victory points.

Players use action cards to manage the changing opportunities on their farm. Crops include carrots, hay, oats, and corn, while the livestock consists of sheep, pigs, cows, and horses. The crops are used to feed the animals, linking the farm’s activities together.

Each player has a board with a rotating wheel that indicates where and when actions can take place. A second, central wheel affects all players by showing what yields they can expect.

• Sow and harvest carrots, hay, oats, and corn.
• Feed sheep, pigs, cows, and horses.
• Use rotating wheels to determine actions and expected yields.
• Earn victory points as the farm develops.

These wheels change over time, creating constantly shifting situations that players must navigate. The result is a game where the available actions and expected yields continue to change as play progresses.

Farmerama brings the setting and mechanisms of its videogame inspiration to the tabletop in a compact farm-based experience. Buyers of the board game also receive free resources to spend in the videogame.
