It’s like the “random” dice generation software is purposely weighted against the human player. I land on pay spaces more often than not. I more often than not land on your harvest is halved spaces. Example I consistently get sent back to the 2nd week of February multiple times. Not to mention the human player’s dice rolls to move the game marker are weighted to land on negative spaces most of the time. Hardly ever get good OTB cards, and the number of negative Farmers Fate cards are plentiful and very common.

Most of the “random” dice rolls for the human player somehow end up 3 and under most of the time. It has always been one of my favorite boardgames. So bought the original boardgame around 1980. Warning: This family game is so much fun it may become habit-forming! If any player wishes to run more than 20 cows, he can try to lease one of the range units in the hills. Each individual farm is capable of pasturing 20 head of cattle. In THE FARMING GAME®, there is enough acreage for six players to diversify into a hay, grain, fruit, or cattle operation. Crops are harvested by the roll of the dice (about as much control as real farmers feel they have over yields and prices received for their crops). The gaming track is the calendar year, with a square for each week. If you can do that without going broke, you win the game! $250,000 in total net assets are required to win THE FARMING GAME®. The object of THE FARMING GAME" is to build your farm large enough to be able to quit the job in town, come home to be your own boss, and farm full time. With each completed trip around the game board you receive $5,000 from your year's wages to plow back into the farm. The 20 acres is not a large enough farm to make a living for a family, so each game farmer must also have a part-time job in town. This property includes 10 acres in hay and 10 acres in grain. In THE FARMING GAME®, each player starts the game with 20 acres inherited from Grandpa.
