Product Description:

Round up your livestock, harvest your wheat, and keep an eye on the hay if you manage your farm right, you might just come out on top! A trip around the board is a cycle of one year, and players will be able to purchase acreage, livestock, or equipment at various points along the way. Also, during the appropriate season, they get the opportunity to harvest their hay, corn, wheat, and fruit, and to auction off their livestock. A roll of the dicedetermines what the market pays at that time for the different commodities. An enjoyable family game that is easy to learn and fun to play, The Farming Game teaches how to balance income with debt and operational expenses as players battle to be the best farm in the area. For 2-6 players.

Publisher Description:

Some people call it the best game they've ever played, others call it addictive. This international award-wining game has sold hundreds of thousands of copies. It has been used by homeschoolers, thousands of schools around the world, and the World Bank had it translated into Russian to assist farm privatization.

The Farming Game is perfect for home on any rainy day or family get together, for a weekend up at the cabin, or down at the beach. A great gift for anyone, including yourself! One size fits all.

Each player starts the game with 20 acres inherited from Grandpa. With each completed trip around the gameboard you receive $5,000 from your year's wages to plow back into the farm. The object of The Farming Game is to build your farm large enough to be able to quit the job in town, come home to be your own boss, and farm full time!

We have loved this game for years! It's a family favorite for kids & adults together. I am buying this one for my 10 year old nephews. They requested it after playing it with their dad, cousins, and uncles. Their dad grew up playing it. We are passing on the tradition!

We have been looking for this good family game. A friend of ours owns an original and introduced us to it. We wanted to get our own, and all we could find was used. But this is better, to get one new! My husband and family loves it, so I am getting this for his birthday Dec. 3.

IT IS BETTER THAN MONOPOLY, MORE DIFFICULT TO MAKE MY 9 YR OLD THINK HARDER ABOUT LIFE ISSUES ON FINANCING AND WHY IT IS IMPORTANT TO CONTROL YOUR SPENDING HABITS
JASON K on Dec 13, 2017
We have played the farming game every year at New Years since the kids were 2 yrs old. They are now 19, an 18. A classic game- that takes all night.

When will it arrive?
A shopper on Apr 5, 2021
BEST ANSWER: This item is currently in stock. Orders are leaving our warehouse in 1-2 business days. If you choose standard shipping, your order should arrive in 5-10 business days after it leaves the warehouse. If you choose premium shipping, your order should arrive in 1-5 business days after it leaves the warehouse (depends on which state you live in).
Does this version have the VINYL wheat tokens, tractor, cows, etc, as shown in the picture?
A shopper on Apr 26, 2020
BEST ANSWER: No, the directions refer to them as vinyl, but this version has cardboard “puzzle-piece type” tokens.
When will it come?
A shopper on Jan 2, 2018
BEST ANSWER: I paid extra for two day delivery because I needed it fast, the company takes 2 days to process out of their warehouse as explained in the shipping information (based on my ordering time) and the rest is up to UPS, although this was last minute Christmas item and UPS did not come through as scheduled, i'm sure it would work under normal conditions. The game is awesome!

Fun game!
A really fun game, especially for farm kids. I like that you can play in under an hour, and the math involved is great.

Super fun game. You are trying to run a farm. As you travel around the board there are different seasons for planting crops, growing, harvesting.
