What Makes The Farming Game 3D Stand Out
THE FARMING GAME®, a Monopoly style board game where players harvest crops with the roll of the dice, dodge droughts, uncertain markets and insects. Buy land, cattle, wheel and deal. Always different and always a challenge. Build the best farm in the county. A truly rewarding time that entertains, teaches and is just plain fun. An International award-winning game! Hundreds of thousands of copies sold. Fresh from the country. A classic family board game! So much fun, some people say it's the best game they've ever played, others call it addictive. This international award-wining game has sold hundreds of thousands of copies. So educational, it has been used by homeschoolers and thousands of schools around the world. So realistic, World Bank had it translated into Russian to assist farm privatization. Good clean wholesome fun. THE FARMING GAME ® is perfect for home on any rainy day or family get together, for a weekend up at the cabin, or down at the beach. A great gift for anyone, including yourself! One size fits all. PLOW THE BACK FORTY ON YOUR KITCHEN TABLE A board game is a dream machine, a vehicle to create an alternative reality. In THE FARMING GAME®, each player starts the game with 20 acres inherited from Grandpa. This property includes 10 acres in hay and 10 acres in grain. The 20 acres is not a large enough farm to make a living for a family, so each game farmer must also have a part-time job in town. With each completed trip around the game board you receive $5,000 from your year's wages to plow back into the farm. The object of THE FARMING GAME" is to build your farm large enough to be able to quit the job in town, come home to be your own boss, and farm full time. If you can do that without going broke, you win the game! $250,000 in total net assets are required to win THE FARMING GAME®. The gaming track is the calendar year, with a square for each week. Crops are harvested by the roll of the dice (about as much control as real farmers feel they have over yields and prices received for their crops). In THE FARMING GAME®, there is enough acreage for six players to diversify into a hay, grain, fruit, or cattle operation. Each individual farm is capable of pasturing 20 head of cattle. If any player wishes to run more than 20 cows, he can try to lease one of the range units in the hills. Warning: This family game is so much fun it may become habit-forming!
This Board game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
Well done making it 3D! Definitely worth the cost. Do you think youll ever add the feature to play with family members/ friends online.
This game is great for us. We had/have the original board game at our cabin growing up and we introduced it to so many friends that love it. So when we discovered this (and the Construction Game) for the iPhone and iPad it was fantastic. Then it stopped working with the newer OS updates. So we were excited to see an updated version. Well done with the 3D update. However, aesthetically we liked the 2D version better. Im old we guess and dont need all the fancy graphics to enjoy the game. Im just happy we can play it again. Please consider updating the Construction Game.
We jst downloaded the game again but some reason we Cannot get it to play even for whatever reason, really disappointing.
This need the following options: 1. Able to totally skip animations, dice rolls, CPU turns etc. Even 100% speed is to slow. 2. Able to turn off 3D Id much rather be able to see the whole board and where the other players are. 3. To be able to have a always up display of player ranking/net worth. And for love of all that is holy dont use Comic Sans! This is an amazing board game and Id like to see this get the digital version it deserves.
We love the game, but we are having a couple of issues that are frustrating. We like trying to get all of the achievements, but we are not getting credit for ones we have completed. It does not give us credit when we buy a harvestor. It also does not give us credit for completing the third game. We have deleted the app and downloaded the game again and it still doesnt give us credit for those accomplishments. Our other complaint would be not being able to delete players that we have created. Other than those issues we love the game. Just frustrated that Im not getting for achievements.
Update: got a good explanation from the developer which we appreciate. We do like the game and the new graphics are good. The only thing we dont like is if you try to up the amount it takes to win the game but dont start the game, when you get back into it it doesnt reset it back to the normal value so you have to take the time to reset it manually. Otherwise its a good game. Its kinda crappy that you had to make a whole new app and charge people again who already bought the game in the old version. We were expecting an update, not a new app and a new charge.
