About the game
Farm Club is an optimisation game with simple rules but requiring crucial decisions to be made. On his turn, each player chooses from the available lots (animal + objective) the one combination that best serves their strategy: should they take a sheep or a duck? Where should they place it on his farm? With only 9 rounds of play, Farm Club is fast-paced and constantly requires players to use their judgement : each animal, objective or placement will have an impact on the final score and so they should make good use of the 2 special actions allowing them to reorganise their farm or renew the supply of animals and objectives. After 9 rounds, the player with the highest score wins.

Questions and answers
Farm Club supports 2–5 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 Farm Club 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 Farm Club 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.
Farm Club has a complexity rating of 1.7 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.
