If my wife is a farmer's daughter will she kick my butt at this game?

Well, if she likes to have a lot of kids, and keep kicking your butt to constantly upgrade the house with honey do list, then yes. Now my 7 year old daughter is fond of sheep, so she won't cook them. So vegetarians will never win this game,but they will end up with 20 sheep.

Ha ha ha! Not necessarily. A good strategy in Agricola is to diversify as much as possible - and unlike farming, the weather doesn't affect success!

Possibly. But as you both get used to it you will develop your own strategy and a different victor may emerge. It also doesn't exactly correlate with real life on a farm, it just has a similar sense of things to do and get done.

No that doesn't matter. It is a game of strategy and each time you play you figure out some new tactic to help you win. Just know how to use your minor, major, and occupation cards. For me, bonus points are a key to winning the game. There are also video tutorials on YouTube to help you learn the game.

Honestly I don't know. I don't want to say yes then if it doesn't it'll be my fault. It should say in the details whether it is or not. But I can tell you it's a great game and my 3 year old absolutely loves it! Sorry I couldn't be more help :-(

I don't know what the rules say but we play with 6 people, men against the women, and we have 1 set of chips we don't use, so I'm guessing it depends on how you set it up - individual or teams.

I agree with Mardee. The game is a lot of fun. Not only my family (in this house), but also my sisters, and friends love this game. I won't explain how to play the game because Mardee already has. She nailed it right on the head. A variation of the game is to use the "Cliente" cards. If you are dealt a "Cliente" card -- then -- when it is your turn -- you draw 13 more cards, and keep playing your hand until you have no more moves. My daughter and her husband like using Caliente cards, but I don't. I don't ever seem lucky enough to get them. Try the game out. I think you will like it. I agree with Mardee.

Good question! My kids are also smart and competitive, but they're a little older. The game is pretty complicated, so we think you shouldn't get it until you've got teenagers in your house. It will be worth the wait. :)

Yes for the family version included in the game. I would introduce the full game after trying the family version.

My wife was just getting on it when I read this question. She tried it and it worked. She said it is harder on the knees though.

Yes and it's actually quite fun. The best part of Agricola is that there are many ways to play the game: Solo, group. There's also a "family game" version that is slightly less complicated and is especially good for younger kids or new players. This has the highest replayability factor of any worker-placement game I know.

Maybe not -- unless she's unusually dexterous for her age! My husband has to sometimes help me use this, although I do love it.

Definitely not. I had a blast playing this with my siblings and we're 33, 30, 27 and 18. She'll love it.

The game is basically quotes from the show. If she's allowed to watch the show, and I see no reason why she shouldn't be, the game is just the same.

It might be too hard for a 2 yr old. We played with family ranging from 64 to 9 and had a ball. Have you tried Cootie?

I think it would certainly be appropriate. The game moves up in complexity as the child grasps the more basic concepts. I have a 6.5 year old daughter who enjoys this game very much and finds it challenging enough not to be boring.

My mom and I love to play the game just us. In fact I have never played it with more than two people. It is much harder solo though.

I hope not. I'm still working to get all my weeding done so I can put the ground cloth down. I will post something once the wet weather gets here so I know.

It may be the type of computer that Tammy is using. Some can't handle that type of game if there are of an older type. Just a thought. Good luck :)
