| Each player starts with £200, a farm card and farmer for moving around the
board. The player's farm card represents the visible assets of a farm
including livestock, crops and tractors. Players move around the game board
purchasing livestock in auctions and buying a tractor. Players earn money by
landing on squares which allow them to sell crops at a specific price. The
first player to stock their farm by covering all the squares on their farm is
the winner. The 7th player acts as auctioneer and banker. The rules are printed on the inside of the box cover. Based upon the BBC radio serial. Great fun for all, particularly Archers fans who can bring the characters from the fictitious village of Borchester to life. A very rare game to find. |
