It seems like every so often, a board game arrives on the scene with a lot of fanfare. This year’s game to fit that description is Agricola. The name comes from the Latin for ‘farmer.’ Naturally, that is your role in this game. You play a farmer who is trying to develop the most successful farm, as judged by the player with the most victory points at the end.

So, how is success measured? At the end, each player scores points for:
• How many fields they’ve plowed

Are you one of those players who is growing tired from the worn out theme of trading in the Mediterranean? How about role selection? Do you hate having lots of options, but only one being the best? Do you love lots of bits and cards like the present offerings that are usually seen in "Ameritrash" games but dislike the long setup and play time? Well, if you answered "yes" to the previous questions, Agricola (Latin for "farmer") is a game you should try.
