Best explanation so far. Draw card for the round. Replenish board resources. Place workers. Collect resource/play action. Repeat til harvest. Repeat All 6 times. Tally points.
This was a terrific tutorial. I found the rule book really quite impenetrable, making even the turn sequence very hard to suss out. It works better as a summary of the rules for someone who knows the game than someone getting to it from no baseline. This, however. This was gold. I walked through the game a couple of times with the book, but with this one I grok it.
Also, what's with the slip cases for your cards. The family has been getting into more board games of late and I wouldn't mind ideas for keeping them in good shape.
Thanks so much for the kind words! Glad it was helpful. It’s a lot to take in a first. For the card sleeves I use Fantasy Flight purple cards. They are great quality and fairly affordable.
Many thanks for taking so much time and effort into producing such a well made instructional video. I have found it invaluable in teaching the game to my grandson.
This was a great tutorial. I bought this game based on some reviews I had read. When I attempted to read the rules, I thought "uh oh, big mistake buying this game" but your tutorial was SO helpful. I'm really looking forward to playing the game now. Thank you!
Awesome video, thank you so much! My wife and I are going to sit down for our first game this weekend (I can't wait!) and this helps a lot. I loved the pace, you weren't tempted to speak like a bullet train to make the video as short as possible. Thank you!
theluggage haha thank you! I know I really have a hard time learning when it goes really fast. Even my more streamlined videos that are newer I try to speak at a reasonable pace and use examples.
Thanks to this tutorial not only do I now know how to play/teach this game but you've also gotten another subscriber. I looked for quite a bit trying to find a GOOD "How to play" video for this game but NONE compare to this. Very neatly done and simple instructions.
Hey, great video :-) Just thought it worth noting that any fenced off pasture only counts as one, regardless of how many squares in contains (I.e. you only have three pastures in your example).
This is a very well produced, very informative tutorial for a fairly complex game. Well shot, good narration and it's a great way to dive into Agricola. Cheers!
Whitney Baker haha thanks so much! It's a piece I wrote for another video. It was intentionally meant to be happy and lighthearted because that's how I want our videos to be.
Kinda goes along with this version of Agricola being 'lighter' than the non-revised versions, as a kidding aside. To help with resource, animal, vegetable, and food set up, I use 10 small tins for each, the tins are big enough to hold all of the wood and cows for the components that come with the game. Similar to putting out a plano, but more modular in case of table space issues. My tins are 2 1/4" square or so and about an inch high, for reference. Might remove the Major Improvement board if I get the revised Farmers of the Moor expansion, since my box can just barely hold everything.
Amazing job! I’ve never played Agricola; to be honest, it never drew my attention (shocker I know). But I decided to give your video a shot and because of you, I want to buy and play this game ASAP! You just simply took your time explaining the set-up, every component, all the do’s and don’ts of this game. It was just a really awesome video! Hats off to you and thank you for inspiring me to play this. 😀
Thanks so much for the kind words! This one took a while to catch my attention as well. Once I played it I got hooked the more I tried, it's really a great game. I'm always on the lookout for new releases from Uwe thanks to this one and his other big box releases.
The Dicey Review I just got into Le Havre and been trying to understand it as much as I can. Do you have a tutorial for solo play? I hope I’m playing it right. Uwe really does have great games. He’s a genius!
The Dicey Review I’m sorry I meant solo play for Le Havre. I think I’m playing it right but it’s a lot of building rules to keep up with. I’ll leave it to the experts such as yourself 👍🏼
Excellent video! You might want to consider adding "Revised Edition" to the title somewhere (I was specifically looking for Agricola Revised content and lucked in to this one, which has been the best yet).
Thank you for this video. This actually seems to be a very simple game to pick up (although it may take much longer to master it). This new version seems easier to understand. It seems to be a common problem (at least for the older version) that the rules that come with the game are hard to understand and many owners of the game could not even get past the set-up phase. In the older version you need to select a different set of action cards depending on the number of players This version appears to avoid that confusion by instead utilising an extension (interlocking piece) on the left hand side of the player board. The second big confusion in the older version is the "family game" recommended for novice players. Essentially the family/novice game is just a game WITHOUT occupation and MINOR improvement cards. In the older version there is also a reverse side to the player board without options for occupation or minor improvements (That side has a round circle depicting an adult and a child, representing "Family"). Once you get past the set-up the game seems pretty much the same.
Thanks so much! Yeah the newer version seems to be streamlined based on what I’ve heard about the older version. Everything was pretty easy to understand the more I played it solo and I did a lot of BGG searching as well. In my opinion it’s really worth it to learn this game though such a great strategy game.
Awesome tutorial! I'm not sure if it was already brought up, but in the scoring part of the pastures, you only get points for each enclosed pasture, and not for each individual square, so you'd get 3 points for pastures in your example
This is great, thank you! I couldn't make sense of the rulebook and your tutorial cleared everything up. One minor thing is that I wish you had gone into the details that you purposefully left out, as being able to learn all the rules (including minor nuances) off of one video is invaluable. Since it's a video people could just skip the parts that are not relevant to them.
Awesome! So glad it was helpful. I always struggle with including everything. With some games it can make the videos really long, hopefully this at least gives you a good starting point.
with the accumalating resources leave them on the other side of the arrow than he has put them example the wood should not go in the forest until it has not been taken in previous round at the end of the round slide everything that has not been taken this round over as the arrow suggests and put the new now accumalitive resource on the eg 3 wood spot while the exisiting eg 3 wood stays on the other side of the arrow in the trees this will help to eliminate any confusion as to whether said resource has been or not been replenished
This is the best tutorial i've found so far. Even as a spanish speaker, it was very clear for me. Really amazing. The tutorials in my language are far more difficult to understand if you can believe that. Thank you!
This tutorial is fantastic. Thank you! I had the opportunity to play this briefly at GenCon50 this year and trying to set this up on our own was taking waaaay too long. A passerby who played before gave us a hand (thankfully) and we made it to 1 harvest before Mayfair had to close the grounds for the night. Now the rest of my questions are answered and this should be fun to break out at our gaming sessions :)
Great tutorial - very easy to listen too and clearly explained. I much prefer your very straight-laced form of instruction rather than the individuals who already think they are mini movie-stars and spoil the games by being irritating - so well done you for keeping it informative and to the point. It's a fairly heavy-weight game I have struggled with in the past, and have played solo - your video was a good reminder of what a good game it is - thanks.
That’s so cool that it was on a show like that. It is a real game and it’s so much fun! It’s a bit heavy but there are really cool lighter options to get you started until you’re ready for this one.
Just a quick question that i've not seen answered in the video. What would eventually happen in breeding phase (during the harvest) if I wouldn't have space for a newborn? Does it go to community market or would run away?
This game is testing me in terms of getting a handle on the rules. The book is unclear and the you tube videos don’t touch on every aspect. Hopefully everyone doesn’t mind we bombarding you with questions. I played a two player game with myself to get a feel for playing. First question - major improvement cards sometimes show you can exchange animals for food. How do you do that ? You cant hold animals in your supply. Can you do it when you go to work ? Like the sheep in round 1. Can I take them and convert to food then?
So for those cards you can convert either animals from your fields or directly when you take them. So for instance during the harvest phase you could convert three of the sheep from your pastures and use that food to feed your people, or if you go to the space to gather 4 sheep you could immediately convert two into 4 food then put 2 into your pastures.
Great tutorial, thank you very much for the work. It helped me a lot, I learned a lot and I'm sure I'll be able to teach other people to play and fall in love with this wonderful game. I would like to know what material you have used to coat your desk. It looks rubbery. Thanks again. Have a good game.
Thank you so much! I used a play mat that I turned upside down. I believe it was a large space themed playmat. Since I didn't feel like explaining Agricola....in spaaaaaace I turned it over :)
P.S. 47 is a very, very good score. Typical winning scores, depending on the number of players, will range from the low 30s into the high 40s. Any score 50+ is extremely good, while anything under 30 ain't so hot.
Do you play all of your people in your action phase or do you take turns. Seems like you should take turns..but the first time we played it we played them all. It was pretty cut throat once people started growing their families. Lol. The directions are a little unclear regarding this.
Thanks Dungeon Master! I agree for this video I was using my old camera and didn't know quite as much about how cameras worked. My newer videos have better lighting :)
Any tips on where to buy small animals that fits in the game? the once on ebay etc seems to big with there 5cm high, 3cm wide etc. Internationell seller is a must though as I'm in Sweden.
johan340 hey Johan! For me I bought the set of animals on topshelfgamer.com. I think they sell internationally, but if they don't Amazon had this set in the US as well.
Wonderful video! Loving the upgraded tokens, where did you get them? (Also, the food bag token- let me know if you have a link, I like the look of it).
You actually made a mistake when counting points. A "pasture" in terms of scoring, is a fenced area, no matter how big. So you have only 3 pastures there. If you fence half of your board in one big pasture, you still get only one point for it. (But you don't get penalties for unused farm spaces.
Sean Skidmore thanks so much for the kind words! I’m not sure the guild number, it’s under podcasts and The Dicey Review. If you look at our CZcams page you can see all the videos we release there: m.czcams.com/channels/dmz9-gG5_aZLS5XKBp7kWQ.html Or our website www.thediceyreview.com Thanks! Paul
I do love playing with them, this whole game is a big toy for me at this point haha the game is amazing but I have miniatures for the people and animal pieces etc.
Does this edition have different decks past A and B available now? I don’t really know how it works in the physical version, but I have the app, and the other decks cost extra,so I guess they’re mini-expansions!
Yeah there are tons of extra cards available now. I’m a sucker for this game so I’ve bought so much of the extra stuff. There are two or three expansions decks, a 5-6 player expansion, a farmers of the moor expansion, and painted miniatures for each player color that include cards..........I have them all.
@@thediceyreview Good. Thanks. I bought the app a few months ago, and once I move into my new place, I am absolutely getting this game for my table. I just love it!
I like how these worker placement games are well thought out except the ending. Ending is always disappointing for me because there is this pause and it's not clear who won or did good until you count the points you've earned. It was same with Tikal and Carcassonne. I like when you try to reach a score or number of things during the play and first one who reaches wins so there is no mystery to who is doing better.
I've never played the original. From my understanding though the revised version is more balanced and the cards are curated by the designer to be a better introduction. All of the content is available now as expansion content as well.
Where could I find these cool elements you have? I do have the old version of Agricola (which is better in my opinion, has more cards) but I think it'd be cool to refresh it with new elements.
Hi and thanks for the tutorial. It was really helpfull. But, I've got one question. When you did your harvesting, you've got one field of grain that contained three grains. You removed only one of them so there where two left in the field. Why is that? Is there anytime you can remove one of them so there it is only one left, og is the field "stucket" with two grains forever? And what about next round and next time you do go on a action card that allowes you to saw grain? There is some questions about this fields that I don't understand. Does every field that has been sawed automaticly refills to the next harvest? Or... How does this work?
And there is two more questions: 1: The accumulation fields. If one of the players moves his or hers worker to one of those fields, for ex sheep. The player takes all the sheeps that is on that field at the time, but when and how does the field refill? 2: This is about the extra handcards, minor uppgrade and/or occupaition card, if one players run out of cards? What then? Does the player get new one on his or her hand after use of one?
Ronny Hansen Hi Ronnie! Good questions. Each time you harvest, you take one grain or vegetable off each field with good(s) on them. When those items come off the fields they are then in your supply. You can use grain that’s in your supply to take sow actions with.
Ronny Hansen each accumulation space has the number printed next to it added each round. So the sheep space has one sheep added each round. Players will never get more cards after their initial hands.
@@thediceyreview Hi again and thanks a lot for good answers. But there is still something I don't understand about harvesting. What happenes with those grains and vegetables left on the field? Does they grow back automaticly to give more to harvest until the next harvestround? I guess the reason there is one item vegetables left on the field this is because it still growing until next harvesting, but how does this work? And so on. There is two grains left on the grain field. What happens to those two? Does these two grains grow back to three and and you can harvest one more time from that field to? It is okey with the crop you have harvested. These are for use to for examplefood and so on, but my question are about those left on the field and the field it self? In another way: Is the field possible to reharvest from next round, and if; how to do it?
Ronny Hansen Hi Ronny, Every harvest phase you remove one vegetable/grain from each field. Any remaining goods stay on the field. So in your example you would take one of the grain from the stack of three. Those two grain would stay on the field. Then the next time you harvest, you would take one more leaving one grain. When the fields empty completely following this process you would then be able to plant in those fields again.
Hannah Alberson hey Hannah, in general I go with Fantasy Flight sleeves for non standard sizes. They’re a bit long for my taste but they have a consistent quality for each pack. In general for euro style games you can google “Standard Euro” card sleeves. Other brands like mayday are also good too.
Best tutorial I've found so far, thanks! Someone just lent us this game saying they couldn't figure it out. This is an immense help. Thanks!
Plumpy Thimble thanks so much! For some reason Rosenberg games are always tough to learn. I may put out a video for all his big box games.
Best explanation so far. Draw card for the round. Replenish board resources. Place workers. Collect resource/play action. Repeat til harvest. Repeat All 6 times. Tally points.

Dianne Barnard I felt the same way. It sat on the shelf for six months before trying it again. The rule book could use a good re write

Very patiently done tutorial!! Well done. A play through for 2 rounds after this tutorial would have capped a fantastic video!
42:30 You need to count the number of pastures not the spaces within pastures so it should be only 3 points.
Very good point. The one major goof in this video I apologize.
I was looking for this comment :-)

Matthew Burgess good point! That is absolutely true, mistake on my part.
S'all good - you've made such a good video, it would have been absolutely incredible not to make at least one mistake!
I was about to write that comment on the error at 42.29 as well!
Of all the Agricola tutorials out there, I really should have watched this one first! Great detail!
Xabrewolf thanks so much! Glad it was helpful.
This is a very well produced, very informative tutorial for a fairly complex game. Well shot, good narration and it's a great way to dive into Agricola. Cheers!
Chris Rud thanks so much for the kind words! Glad it helped
Okay this was a super helpful video in terms of figuring out how to play Agricola, but also, the music you used? So dang soothing.
Whitney Baker haha thanks so much! It's a piece I wrote for another video. It was intentionally meant to be happy and lighthearted because that's how I want our videos to be.
Kinda goes along with this version of Agricola being 'lighter' than the non-revised versions, as a kidding aside. To help with resource, animal, vegetable, and food set up, I use 10 small tins for each, the tins are big enough to hold all of the wood and cows for the components that come with the game.

N G I haven’t done a solo play for Agricola yet, I should. It’s been a while! It’s a “get as many points as you can” type setup.
The Dicey Review I’m sorry I meant solo play for Le Havre. I think I’m playing it right but it’s a lot of building rules to keep up with. I’ll leave it to the experts such as yourself 👍🏼
Looked for so long for a good explanation of this game. After watching this, understood it straight away. Thanks for the help 😁.
Thanks so much! Glad it was helpful.
This was sooooo much more concise than the manual. Great work and thank you.

The single greatest agricola tutorial. Thank you
Thanks so much!
This tutorial is neatly done and explain everything clearly step by step. Very good video. Please make more for other euro game.

Excellent video! You might want to consider adding "Revised Edition" to the title somewhere (I was specifically looking for Agricola Revised content and lucked in to this one, which has been the best yet).

I saw this on the TV show Orphan Black and didn't even know it was a real game!
That’s so cool that it was on a show like that. It is a real game and it’s so much fun! It’s a bit heavy but there are really cool lighter options to get you started until you’re ready for this one.
@@thediceyreview I don't know if you saw the show, but It's a pretty good part of the story at one point.
Best tutorial I've found. Thank you so much! I'm loving this game
Hugo thank you so much! It’s one of my all time favorites
Just a quick question that i've not seen answered in the video. What would eventually happen in breeding phase (during the harvest) if I wouldn't have space for a newborn? Does it go to community market or would run away?
Hugo good question! It would simply go away
Thank you so much again! I'm ready to take the game now! I'm off to play :P Cheers
Fantastic walk through
Thanks so much!

P.S. 47 is a very, very good score. Typical winning scores, depending on the number of players, will range from the low 30s into the high 40s. Any score 50+ is extremely good, while anything under 30 ain't so hot.
My copy certainly doesn’t look like that. I see some scythe meeples and Etsy animeeples, which made turning those sheep to food a hard choice.
Haha it's very true :) My copy has been slowly upgraded bit by bit because I love it so much. It's my shrine to Uwe.
You did an amazing job explaining this, thank you
Thanks so much!
Amazing video, great explanations, and I love the background music! I would love to have a link of it :) Cheers
miaoufeng123 thanks so much! I don't actually have it up for download anywhere yet. I'll work
on that!
Do you play all of your people in your action phase or do you take turns. Seems like you should take turns..but the first time we played it we played them all. It was pretty cut throat once people started growing their families. Lol. The directions are a little unclear regarding this.
Great video. You really should get the whitebalance correct. It'll make the videos so much more easier on the eyes.
Thanks Dungeon Master! I agree for this video I was using my old camera and didn't know quite as much about how cameras worked. My newer videos have better lighting :)
Thanks for the tutorial. It's the best that I found on youtube.
What version is this? It looks like revised, but the cattle and resources looks more fancy in this video.
Vincent Chan sorry yes this is the revised version but I upgraded some resources and animals
Any tips on where to buy small animals that fits in the game? the once on ebay etc seems to big with there 5cm high, 3cm wide etc. Internationell seller is a must though as I'm in Sweden.
johan340 hey Johan! For me I bought the set of animals on topshelfgamer.com. I think they sell internationally, but if they don't Amazon had this set in the US as well.
Wonderful video! Loving the upgraded tokens, where did you get them? (Also, the food bag token- let me know if you have a link, I like the look of it).
You actually made a mistake when counting points. A "pasture" in terms of scoring, is a fenced area, no matter how big. So you have only 3 pastures there. If you fence half of your board in one big pasture, you still get only one point for it. (But you don't get penalties for unused farm spaces.
Andreas Pichowski thanks for pointing it out! I did realize after posting I made the error.
Great video btw. :)
Andreas Pichowski thanks so much!
What card sleeves are those?
KMCGamer I use fantasy flight purples.
Was not expecting a reply so quickly! Thanks bud!
KMCGamer absolutely!
Awesome tutorial! I'd love to have that guild # for BGG so I can look for more of your stuff.
Sean Skidmore thanks so much for the kind words! I’m not sure the guild number, it’s under podcasts and The Dicey Review. If you look at our CZcams page you can see all the videos we release there: m.czcams.com/channels/dmz9-gG5_aZLS5XKBp7kWQ.html
Or our website www.thediceyreview.com
Thanks!
Paul
Great job very clear and nice pace.
Thank you!
Great review! Quick question, from where did you get the little containers you keep the animals and resources in?
These are the Stonemaier trays they can be found on topshelfgamer.com!
Hi Paul! I just ordered the animal pieces from Top Shelf Gamer! Do you love playing with them? Can't wait for my set.
I do love playing with them, this whole game is a big toy for me at this point haha the game is amazing but I have miniatures for the people and animal pieces etc.
Also, do you have a How to Play Farmers of the Moor for the revised version? Would love to see that!
I don’t currently but I could do that in the future!
Where did you get those plastic trays ? I collect tons of these type of games and I’m always looking for cool accessories that make it easier to play.
I got them from topshelfgamer as well. They have some on the stonemaier games site as well I believe.
Gah! Not putting the action cards on the board itself with the beautiful forest bscks?
Ahh I know! I was such a noob at the time. Please forgive my fresh faced foolishness! (Also Fresh Faced Foolishness name of my new band.)
Great video, thanks! Anyway, could you please tell from where you got those plastic trays?
Thank you! I got them from topshelfgamer.com. I know you can get similar trays from the BGG store too.
Thank you for the great guide. But hpw did you get these meeples for Cows, pigs, sheeps, woods and food? They looks better than the regular once
Saud Al-Hashim thanks! Yes they are an upgrade I got them from topshelfgamer.com
Why are there resources on the back of the begging tokens? What do you do if you run out of a resource and need to replenish it?
Thank you - great tutorial.
Elise Swanson thanks so much! Glad it was helpful!
+The Dicey Review Excellent review! Where did you get those little plastic trays, I have been looking everywhere for them?
Trent Hogan thank you! I get them on topshelfgamer.com. www.topshelfgamer.com/products/plastic-resource-containers
Thank you for this great tutorial so far is one of the best ones.🖒
frayland camacho Thanks so much!
Is a bake bread action count as placing a worker action?
Hey, a bake bread action can be gained with a worker and some cards I believe.
Does this edition have different decks past A and B available now? I don’t really know how it works in the physical version, but I have the app, and the other decks cost extra,so I guess they’re mini-expansions!
Yeah there are tons of extra cards available now. I’m a sucker for this game so I’ve bought so much of the extra stuff. There are two or three expansions decks, a 5-6 player expansion, a farmers of the moor expansion, and painted miniatures for each player color that include cards..........I have them all.
@@thediceyreview Good. Thanks. I bought the app a few months ago, and once I move into my new place, I am absolutely getting this game for my table. I just love it!
Such a great tutorial. Please consider Castles of Burgandy next.
Stephen Pottage glad it was helpful! I'm working on learning that one so I'll try!
Hello, great tutorial
I was just wondering what card sleeves you are using for your cards in Agricola?
Matthew Winters thank you! I used the standard Euro sleeves from Fantasy Flight (purple).
I like how these worker placement games are well thought out except the ending. Ending is always disappointing for me because there is this pause and it's not clear who won or did good until you count the points you've earned. It was same with Tikal and Carcassonne.
I like when you try to reach a score or number of things during the play and first one who reaches wins so there is no mystery to who is doing better.
Anil Demir I can see that. The game 51st State is great for that because it's a race to points.
Try viticulture essential edition. Great worker placement and score as you go along
Which version is better? The original version or the revised edition?
I've never played the original. From my understanding though the revised version is more balanced and the cards are curated by the designer to be a better introduction. All of the content is available now as expansion content as well.
Great video! You should definitely have more subscribers.
Silvertronica thanks so much for the kind words! We're hoping to get there eventually.
Where did you get the animal upgrades?
I got them from topshelfgamer.com!
Music in background? I'd love to play this while I play solo.
This is an old song I recorded for a different play through. I'll upload it to my drive inbox and share the file.
@@thediceyreview Awesome thank you
Where could I find these cool elements you have? I do have the old version of Agricola (which is better in my opinion, has more cards) but I think it'd be cool to refresh it with new elements.
topshelfgamer.com they have great upgrades!
Great video! Was just wondering what sleeves you use for your cards?
Sinisterzel thanks so much! Sorry for the delay I used Fantasy Flight purples.
Does anyone recommend card sleeves suitable for the game? I tried in Amazon, but I didn't find the right measurements... thanks! :-)
may i know where do you get the upgraded components? -- i found my answer in one of your replies below :) Great tutorial, by the way!
Patrick Ho Wan Chuan thanks so much! Glad it was helpful.
can i request for Civilization Through the ages? Thanks!
Patrick Ho Wan Chuan Hey Patrick! Sure I'll look into it and see if I can learn it!
Thanks so much for this great vid. very helpful. youre awesome!
Awesome I'm glad to hear it.
Where did you get resource tray?
Joshua Mayfield the trays are all stonemaier resource trays from topshelfgamer.com.
Thanks for the helpful video pal. Greatly appreciated. Thumbs up here 👍🏻.
Thanks so much!
This was SOO helpful! Thanks so much :)
Great tutorial! Very clear explanation!
very helpful!! this was a great video
Hi and thanks for the tutorial. It was really helpfull. But, I've got one question. When you did your harvesting, you've got one field of grain that contained three grains. You removed only one of them so there where two left in the field. Why is that? Is there anytime you can remove one of them so there it is only one left, og is the field "stucket" with two grains forever? And what about next round and next time you do go on a action card that allowes you to saw grain? There is some questions about this fields that I don't understand. Does every field that has been sawed automaticly refills to the next harvest? Or... How does this work?
And there is two more questions:
1: The accumulation fields. If one of the players moves his or hers worker to one of those fields, for ex sheep. The player takes all the sheeps that is on that field at the time, but when and how does the field refill?
2: This is about the extra handcards, minor uppgrade and/or occupaition card, if one players run out of cards? What then? Does the player get new one on his or her hand after use of one?
Ronny Hansen Hi Ronnie! Good questions. Each time you harvest, you take one grain or vegetable off each field with good(s) on them. When those items come off the fields they are then in your supply. You can use grain that’s in your supply to take sow actions with.
Ronny Hansen each accumulation space has the number printed next to it added each round. So the sheep space has one sheep added each round. Players will never get more cards after their initial hands.
@@thediceyreview Hi again and thanks a lot for good answers. But there is still something I don't understand about harvesting. What happenes with those grains and vegetables left on the field? Does they grow back automaticly to give more to harvest until the next harvestround? I guess the reason there is one item vegetables left on the field this is because it still growing until next harvesting, but how does this work? And so on. There is two grains left on the grain field. What happens to those two? Does these two grains grow back to three and and you can harvest one more time from that field to? It is okey with the crop you have harvested. These are for use to for examplefood and so on, but my question are about those left on the field and the field it self? In another way: Is the field possible to reharvest from next round, and if; how to do it?
Ronny Hansen Hi Ronny,
Every harvest phase you remove one vegetable/grain from each field. Any remaining goods stay on the field. So in your example you would take one of the grain from the stack of three. Those two grain would stay on the field. Then the next time you harvest, you would take one more leaving one grain. When the fields empty completely following this process you would then be able to plant in those fields again.
Can you recommend a good card sleeve?
Hannah Alberson hey Hannah, in general I go with Fantasy Flight sleeves for non standard sizes. They’re a bit long for my taste but they have a consistent quality for each pack. In general for euro style games you can google “Standard Euro” card sleeves. Other brands like mayday are also good too.
Hi, nice video. I have a question... after the harvest, you must eliminate the remaining food tokens or you can keep them?
Soundtracksdamiel thanks! You can keep anything your family doesn’t eat.
Excellent tutorial! Thanks you
Tracy Gavloski thanks so much! Glad it helped!
