The Farming Game: A Fun and Educational Board Game for the Whole Family
THE FARMING GAME® is a classic family board game that provides hours of entertainment and educational value. In this Monopoly-style game, players take on the role of farmers and navigate the challenges of the agricultural industry. With each roll of the dice, players must harvest crops, manage uncertain markets, and overcome obstacles like droughts and insects. The goal is to build the best farm in the county and accumulate a total net worth of $250,000.
The game starts with each player inheriting 20 acres of land from their grandpa, divided into 10 acres of hay and 10 acres of grain. However, this size of the farm is not enough to sustain a family, so players must also take on part-time jobs in town. As they make their way around the game board, players earn $5,000 from their wages each year to invest back into their farms.
THE FARMING GAME® allows for up to six players to diversify their farms by venturing into hay, grain, fruit, or cattle operations. Each player can pasture up to 20 head of cattle, but if they wish to expand their herd, they can lease additional range units in the hills. The game progresses through the calendar year, with each week represented by a square on the gaming track.
This international award-winning game has been praised for its educational value and has been used by homeschoolers and schools around the world. It offers a realistic experience that reflects the challenges faced by real-life farmers. THE FARMING GAME® is not only a fun way to spend time with family and friends, but it also teaches valuable lessons about agriculture and financial management.
