The Farming Game - Board Game

A farmer invented this game to help his neighbors laugh off farming's calamities-and to show their friends in town what goes on out there off the black-top. You start with twenty acres, a line of credit at the bank, a job in town, and hopes of independence. You work through the seasons first planting and then harvesting. Dice rolls determine crop income while Operating Expense Cards roll in. Should you buy that orchard? Or stick with grain? Or then, there's some cattle range avail­able to lease! The object, like for half of this nation's millions of farmers, is to build the farm up big enough to shuck that job in town. No two years are the same; see if you've got what it takes to make a farmer.

Contains: 6 "Weekend Farmer" markers, Farmer's Fate Cards, Option to Buy Cards (5 each of Fruit, Hay, Grain, and Livestock cards, 3 each of Tractor and Harvester cards, and 2 each of the four Lease cards), Operating Expense Cards, a Harvest Rate Chart, vinyl acreage and machinery stamps, play money, and Bank Notes. For all ages, especially adults.
