Milkman

About this board game

Milkman is a 60-minute board game for 2–4 players, set in fabulous 1950s America, where each player runs a local dairy farm.

Manage your farm, keep your cows happy, and produce three varieties of milk: whole, skim, and chocolate. Then process and deliver your products while persuading neighborhood customers that your milk is the freshest and tastiest around.

Each round, players roll custom dice showing the available actions. You can press your luck by rerolling those dice a couple of times, or match sets to pursue the results you need. The active player receives a few extra dice, but those dice cannot be rerolled; instead, cash on hand can be used to manipulate them.

Every decision involves managing your limited time. You might expand your farm to gain greater flexibility and output, claim valuable customers before your competitors, or ship delicious milk to customers to build pride and reputation.

• Roll custom action dice and decide when to reroll or match sets.
• Manage cows, farm expansion, milk processing, deliveries, and customers.
• Produce whole, skim, and chocolate milk for the local community.
• Use personal farming and neighborhood boards, cow meeples, and other components.

With quick gameplay and an easy-to-teach ruleset, Milkman combines accessible dice play with meaningful choices about production, expansion, and delivery. Its custom dice, personal boards, neighborhood boards, and cow meeples bring the theme of community dairy farming to the table.
