Agricola All Creatures Big and Small: The Big Box

Agricola: All Creatures Big and Small offers a fresh spin on Uwe Rosenberg's classic Agricola. Tailored for just two players, it zeroes in on the exciting world of animal husbandry, leaving behind plows and veggies. In this game, you step into the shoes of an animal breeder, raising horses, cows, sheep, and pigs. Make the best of your pastures and expand your game board as you play, giving your animals more space to roam. With 16 possible actions, each player gets to take three actions in each of the eight rounds. The winner is the one who accumulates the most victory points by fencing in areas, getting the largest and most diverse collection of animals, and building VP - generating structures. The base game comes with 4 standard and 4 special buildings, each offering unique abilities during the game and/or victory points at the end. Balancing infrastructure building and animal acquisition is the secret to winning!
