Winner of the 2008 Advanced Game of the Year

Place your family members on action spaces to obtain the resources and skills needed to build a 15th Century farm.

Why it may be for you:

- You like the idea of creating a thing (a farm in this case) at the end of the game.

- Lots of strategies provided by the occupations (cards) you can play to give yourself abilities and bonuses.

- You like tight games where every decision leads into the next.

- Your options available increase as you go through the game.

Why it may not be for you:

- it's tough being a farmer 500 years ago and that grind is certainly a part of the game.

- Worker placement games (like this one) mean that people will often take the thing you really need.

- You will do terribly in your first few games.
