From Lookout Games: This is not a complete game. You need AGRICOLA to play this expansion set. Over the past years, many small expansions for Agricola were released, mostly in German language. Lookout Games, the publisher, also introduced deluxe wooden pieces to complement the game. The Goodies Expansion contains: Agricola: X-Deck -- 24 cards with alien encounters all over the farm. Every time a player visits a stone quarry, a card is drawn from the pile. And then? Resistance is futile! Agricola: Ö-Deck -- 12 new Occupations and 12 new Minor Improvements including a wunderkind, the guy with the couch, the singing family from the Alps, and of course that one specific Governor. Agricola: CZ-Deck -- 12 Occupations and 12 Improvements. Based on famous people, places, and historic events from the Czech Republic. Illustrated in the spirit of the artist Josef Lada, this expansion was initiated by the Czech Publisher of Agricola-Mindok. Agricola: L-Deck -- Nobody knows exactly what the L stands for. Some tend to believe Lookout, others insist on Looneys. Decide for yourself; but don't take it too seriously. Contains L1-L15, minus L11 and L13. 5 double-sided theme boards -- Western, Spring, Autumn, Winter, and Mars. Sticker Sheet (70 stickers) -- 35 adults, 33 children, 1 alien, and 1 werewolf. Wooden Meeples -- Veggiemeeples, Animeeples, and Resourceeples. Since these items have been generally available in Germany, Agricola: The Goodies will be released only in English and Spanish.
