Beskrivelse
‘Farming’ is a board game in which 3–6 players run a farm for a year and try to finish the farming season with the highest profit. The game was manufactured by Edward Fletcher & Partners in 1982. The game contains a shared game board and individual playing boards, bank notes, and various playing cards. These playing cards, known as ‘stock cards’, represent the stock available in the game – cows, ewes, sows, horses, lambs, bull calves, heifer calves and store pigs. At the start of the game each player is given a set of stock, with the remainder being stored in the ‘auction’.
