ORIGIN OF AGRICOLA
The market of games is on a boom. The increasing demand of the online games has given a high boost to the game industry. A game that has acclaimed recognition all over the world is Agricola. It is a board game that is played mainly between two teams. The game is based on agriculture and it aims to create a well balanced farm by the time the game ends. There are 14 turns in the entire game. The players are required to create a farm within these turns.
The number of members in each team is not limited. The game begins with a family of two on each side and it can be expanded to include as many members in the team as possible. The two teams are required to take care of the farms that are allotted to them at the initial stage of the game. They need to actually create the farm and work as farmers. The work that the players are required to do is collection of all the material that would help them to create and maintain the farm. The items to be collected include things such as clay, stones of all sizes, material for making up the fence for protection of the farm, appropriate soil for the grains and the equipments to plough the farm. Also the players need vegetables for the family and the animals on the farm. The two lead members are the player and the spouse. Other than that, the players may think of enlarging their family. This would help them in working more with increased efficiency. But the players first need to plan as to what all they need to manage before expanding the family. They must consider things such as the need to build more rooms; they need to increase the food supply to feed the entire family, and so on.
