Agricola
In Agricola, you're a farmer in a wooden shack with your spouse and little else. At first, on a turn, your family gets to take only two actions, one for you and one for your spouse, as might be found among all the possibilities on a farm: plowing fields; collecting materials; building fences, and so on. There are numerous choices available, and while the game progresses you'll have more and more, as each round a new action card is flipped over, offering one more possible action. You might think about having kids in order to get more work accomplished but first you'll need to expand your house to make room - and what are you going to feed all the little rug rats?
What is Agricola
In Agricola, you're a farmer in a wooden shack with your spouse and little else. At first, on a turn, your family gets to take only two actions, one for you and one for your spouse, as might be found among all the possibilities on a farm: plowing fields; collecting materials; building fences, and so on.

The game supports many levels of complexity, mainly through the distribution of cards which represent Minor Improvements and Occupations. In the beginner's version (called the Family Variant in the U.S. release) these cards are not used at all. For advanced play, the U.S. release includes three levels of both types of cards; Basic (E-deck), Interactive (I-deck), and Complex (K-deck), and the rulebook encourages players to experiment with the various decks and mixtures thereof. Aftermarket decks such as the Z-Deck and the L-Deck also exist. Each player starts with a hand of 7 Occupation cards (of more than 160 total) and 7 Minor Improvement cards (of more than 140 total) that he/she may use during the game if they fit into his/her strategy.
Agricola is a turn-based game, and the problem to be overcome is that each available action can be taken by only one player each round so it's important to be careful about your choices. There are countless strategies, some of which depend on your hand of cards.
The winner is the player with the most Victory Points from the Improvements made on his farm.

Best game ever played
Juego de gestión de recursos para construir la mejor granja. La mecánica es de elección de acciones con trabajadores. Permite juego en solitario y varias modalidades. Un buen juego. Con muchos jugadores se puede hacer algo lento. Es bastante individualista y la interacción con los demás es indirecta. Vendido a Didiita en las CLBSK19 por 32 euros. Hacía tres años y medio de mi última partida.
Maravilla. Me encanta la sensación de ir sufriendo con el tema de la comida o los sacrificios de animales. Este juego te motiva constantemente a encontrar nuevas estrategias, y más con los diferentes mazos de cartas y los oficios. Chulísimos, te cambian cada partida.
El mejor juego que tengo, sin discursion. Gusta a todos, es rejugable y tiene multiples decisiones y formas de puntuar.
Por ahora solo he jugador una partida en solitario y me pareció muy bueno. Es el primer juego que en esta modalidad me guste.
Excellent Game but it's not recommended for more than 4 player. Besides The rules and the strategy is strongly complicate for amateurs players Nevertheless, it's an excellent game for experimented players, you have thousand of way of winning. It's an extremely original game My personal opinion for giving a 5 is because I am a euro heavy gamer and for me a good euro game should not have too much text and Agricola is too dependent of the cards, besides the reading and the drafting make the game very long. I prefer by far Le Havre and Ora & Labora from this designer.
