Description
‘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 4 playing cards, known as ‘double hazard cards’, are an optional part of the game, for when players want to increase the skill level and play the game on a more advanced basis.
