PLAYED FOR YOU

Family Farm

Does my farm show a trough?

The game features 18 farm boards in three color-marked sets, plus 36 cards each showing two images of farm items. Each board shows buildings, a river and some trees which are arranged in the same way in each set of six boards. Those images are supplemented by twelve more items that vary on each board within a set and can be animals, plants, farm items or farm inmates. Each player is given between seven and twelve cards, depending on the number of players, shuffles them and stacks them face-down. One set of boards is chosen und each player is given a board. Then you take the top card of your stack, put it in the middle and turn it over. If you see one of the images shown on the card on your board, you try to grab the card and get it if you are fastest! But take care! You must place the hand you want to use on the table - the active player must use the hand he did not use to turn over the card. If you touch the card you must take it, even if you realize that you made a mistake. Whoever took the card must then turn up one of his cards next.

When someone has used up his entire card stack, all players check their cards if they really do show at least one item that is depicted on their boards and score one chip for each correctly taken card and discard one chip for each wrong card. After rounds Two and Three with the other two color sets of boards you win with most chips.

Family Farm is a simple spotting game, featuring a standard topic for children. Images are nicely chosen, according to the targeted age group, all in all the game offers a good training for image or pattern recognition and fast reactions.
