Farmy’up!
Grab cow token -> take grass token!
Each player has a board showing six stations of a farm - cow barn, sheep pen, hen house, fields, vegetable garden and orchard. Every station has gaps for characteristic elements: The animal or plant of the station - the feed or sustenance necessary for animal or plant of the station - the final product of the station. The farm to work as a dice tower is set up; 18 wooden disks show the three stages for each station and are put in the middle of the table.
The active player rolls both dice and all players try as quickly as they can to spot and grab the disk corresponding to the result of the Farm die; if you grabbed the disk, you receive the corresponding token to put into your station. However, when you try to spot and take the disk, you must adhere to the action determined by the result of the Crazy Farm die: Fox -> the winner of the disk can steal a token from another player; Sun flower -> all players must rotate on the spot once before looking for a disk; Hand on red > the disk is taken with your left hand; Hand on green -> the disk is taken with your right hand; House = harvest -> you win two tokens from stock; Open hand = Up -> you may take all three disks of a station and then the corresponding tokens. When you win a disk, you get the respective token in order - e.g. first the cow; then, for another cow dice result and winning the disc you take the feed and then, finally, the milk. If you have filled all six stations, you win.
This is a very pretty variant of the look-spot-react mechanism, coming with lots of information on farms and production chains in agriculture and animal husbandry.
