Agricola: All Creatures Big and Small (Big Box) (stand alone) Lookout Games

Agricola: All Creatures Big and Small – The Big Box contains the Agricola: All Creatures Big and Small base game and everything from the two previously released expansions.

In the game, the players are animal farmers and want to extend their farms to hoard as many animals as possible on their pastures and in their stables. The 62 buildings from the base game and the two expansions provide unlimited strategies for each gaming round.

Agricola: All Creatures Big and Small is a new take on Uwe Rosenberg’s Agricola designed for exactly two players and focused only on the animal husbandry aspect of that game. So long plows and veggies!

In Agricola: All Creatures Big and Small, you become an animal breeder of horses, cows, sheep and pigs and try to make the most of your pastures. Players start with a 3×2 game board that can be expanded during play to give more room for players to grow and animals to run free. Sixteen possible actions are available for players to take, with each player taking three actions total in each of the eight rounds.

The player who amasses the most victory points through enclosing space with fences and acquiring the largest number and variety of animals and victory point-generating buildings will be the winner.

Four Standard Buildings and 4 special buildings are available in the base game. These buildings each provide unique special abilities during play and/or VP at game end. Balancing the tension between building infrastructure (fenced pastures and buildings) and acquiring animals (the single biggest source of end-game scoring) is the key to success!

Agricola: All Creatures Big and Small – More Buildings Big and Small, an expansion for the standalone two-player game Agricola: All Creatures Big and Small, adds 27 new special buildings to the base game as well as a fifth Stall tile and a farm expansion. These tiles offer players new ways to keep and breed animals, and allow them to expand their farms in interesting and innovative ways.

Like the first expansion for Agricola: All Creatures Big and Small, Agricola – Even More Buildings Big and Small includes 27 new buildings for use with the base game as well as a fifth Stall tile and a farm expansion. Examples of new buildings include the “Hofzimmerei” (“Carpentry Yard”), “Rent­amt” (which costs you three points but gives you a fourth worker), and “Vieh­markt” (which lets you trade reeds for any animal).
