As the box exclaims in large letters, this game was "invented on the seat of a tractor." Start with 20 acres, a line of credit at the bank and hopes of independence. Each player's goal is to make enough money through the course of several harvests to quit your city job and farm full time. The board is a calendar around which the players move on their turns. The center of the board depicts the farmland available. As in real life, certain areas of land lend themselves to certain crops. Should you diversify or keep all your eggs in one basket (so to speak!)? Even the best laid plans can been wrecked by good ol' mother nature, though. To my knowledge there's not another game like it. Fun and unique, how can you go wrong!
This game is truly educational. Some folks find it discouraging how many forms bad luck can take for a farmer.
