In Agricola, you’re a farmer in a wooden shack with your spouse and little else. On a turn, you get to take only two actions, one for you and one for the spouse, from all the possibilities you’ll find on a farm: collecting clay, wood, or stone; building fences; and so on. You might think about having kids in order to get more work accomplished, but first you need to expand your house. And what are you going to feed all the little rugrats?

A game about farming??? Can’t be that good? Well you’re wrong. I had exactly the same response (Simon introduced me to it) and loved it! Actually everyone I’ve played has had the same response, and have all ended up buying the game! It’s a regular game that my wife and I play on our game nights. Great for the family and always changing. Though I normally lose to my wife. Definitely one of my favourite board games
