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.
