Beschrijving
‘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 ‘play cards’, are numbered 1–52, one for each week of the year, and correspond as closely as possibly to real activities in the farming year.
