Agricola

Lately I've been attempting to play the popular board game Agricola. I won't even try to explain the rules, since they are as complicated as building a nuclear bomb. However, the idea is to build a simple farm, add upgrades like stables and livestock, and expand your household. Sounds easy, right? ...Wrong! I've played several times now and still have no idea what the best stategy is for winning. Eveytime I think I'm doing great I end up being dead last or failing miserably. I'm not giving up on this game, though. The challenge is part of the appeal (addiction).

 I highly recommend this game for those of you who play chess or other strategy based games. You won't be disappointed, as there is more than one way to play Agricola. The number of players determines the way the game will be played. If you're up for the challenge, then good luck and I hope you fare better than I have.
