Rancho

The Rancho board game is the younger sister of the well-known and acclaimed Super Farmer game, which was designed by Karol Borsuk (an eminent Polish mathematician and professor at the University of Warsaw) in 1943 during World War II. After the Nazi occupation of Warsaw, the university was closed and the professor lost his job. He came up with the idea of selling the game to support his family financially. In occupied Warsaw, "Hodowla zwierz?tek" ("Little Animal Farm"), as the game was then known, became extremely popular. After the end of the war, the game was forgotten and reappeared on store shelves only in the 1990s through Granna.
Rancho, designed by Michael Stajszczak, was made to honor the memory of Karol Borsuk and to commemorate the success of "Hodowla zwierz?tek", also known as Super Farmer. Ranch expands the possibilities that Karol Borsuk's original game presented to players, as now farmers must not only trade their animals well and breed them, but also plan to purchase pastures on which to graze their herds.

In more detail, you raise animals to have the best ranch in the region. You buy pasture so your animals have a place to live. Your animals reproduce and this brings you profit. You can convert animals to other types of animals if you decide it's worth it, or you can buy more pastures to make room for more animals. To win, you must be the first to assemble a herd consisting of at least one horse, one cow, one sheep, and one rabbit. But all your plans can go wrong if you are not careful because in the nearby forest there are predators lurking, specifically a wolf and a fox. Your animals can easily become their prey...
