‘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. One player acts as the banker and auctioneer, while the other players each take one of these five individual playing boards, known as ‘farm homestead’ boards, and act as farmers. Players can choose from Bluebell Farm, Pikemere Farm, Larkhill Farm, Primrose Farm and Hillside Farm.
