Super Agricultor

In Super Farmer, each player assumes the role of the owner of the animal farm. The main objective is to breed, trade and collect different animals (rabbit, sheep, pig, cow, horse and two types of dogs) and the winner is a person who can collect at least one of each type (except dogs). But be careful, there are foxes trying to snatch your rabbits and wolves that can eat all your other animals (that's why you need dogs to protect your pack).

The game was designed and originally called "Hodowla zwierz?tek " ("Animal Husbandry") in occupied Poland during World War II by the famous Polish mathematician Karol Borsuk and his wife. In these difficult times, the game became very popular and the Borsuks family sold many home copies. Unfortunately, during the Warsaw rebellion at the end of the war, all copies were destroyed, except for one that was in another city. After the war it was returned to the Borsuks family. Now one of the Polish publishers decided to release the game.

Every player's turn consists of two actions: first you have the possibility to exchange your animals according to the special table (for example, for six rabbits you get one sheep, three pigs for a cow) and then you roll two special 12-sided dice. with animal drawings on the sides. You count the number of pairs of animals on the dice rolled (along with those on the farm) and this is the number of new animals you get, divided by two. The trick is that there is a fox on one dice and a wolf that is eating your animals.

The game is mainly based on the luck factor (dice). But there is a bit of strategy. You opt for more "expensive" animals (which are less likely to have offspring) or you stick with fast-breeding but "cheap" rabbits. Do you trade your animals for "insurance" (dogs) from the foxes and wolves or do you risk it to catch up with other farmers?

The game was intended for children but surprisingly it's also fun for adults.
