Farmerama is a board game released in 2012 for 1–4 players, 60–70 minutes per game, and ages 10 and up. It was designed by Uwe Rosenberg and its main mechanics are Hand Management, Simultaneous Action Selection, and Simulation.
Based on the popular videogame and designed by Uwe Rosenberg, players in Farmerama use action cards to sow and harvest crops (carrots, hay, oats, corn) to feed their livestock (sheep, pigs, cow, horse) and earn victory points. On each player's board, a rotating wheel indicates where and when actions can take place, and another central wheel that affects all players indicates what yields they can expect. These wheels change over time, creating constantly shifting situations that players must navigate. Buyers of the board game will also receive free resources to spend in the videogame.
Farmerama 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 Farmerama is 60–70 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 Farmerama for ages 10 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.
Farmerama has a complexity rating of 2.1 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-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.
