About the game
The game takes place over 3 harvests, with 3, 2, and 1 round each. In each round, you get 2 actions base, plus an extra action for each baby you have. An action consists of rolling all the dice and picking one set to use. You can choose occupations, which help you manipulate the dice before you select your set of dice to use. You may build improvements, which help you score points or convert produce or animals into food. You may improve your farm by extending your house, plowing fields, or building pastures. You may gather Produce (food, grain, or vegetables), Resources (reed, wood, brick, or stone), or Animals (sheep, boars, or cattle). And, of course, you can have babies--but only if you have room in your house. After each harvest, you score points based on how well you've done. You might lose points. The person whose total score across all 3 harvests is the highest wins. This game was created for the Print & Play Dice Contest as a fan homage to Agricola by Uwe Rosenberg and Lookout Games, and is posted for non-commercial use with the permission of Lookout Games. Some icons on the dice are re-used from Agricola; new icons were created by the designer. Microbadges: - Agricola Express Fan - Agricola Express Fan

Questions and answers
Agricola Express supports 1–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Agricola Express is 20 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Agricola Express for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Agricola Express has a complexity rating of 1.8 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
