Hundreds of thousands of copies sold. Fresh from the country. A classic family board game! So much fun, some people say it's the best game they've ever played, others call it addictive. This international award-wining game has sold hundreds of thousands of copies. So educational, it has been used by homeschoolers and thousands of schools around the world. So realistic, World Bank had it translated into Russian to assist farm privatization. Good clean wholesome fun. THE FARMING GAME ® is perfect for home on any rainy day or family get together, for a weekend up at the cabin, or down at the beach. A great gift for anyone, including yourself! One size fits all. PLOW THE BACK FORTY ON YOUR KITCHEN TABLE A board game is a dream machine, a vehicle to create an alternative reality. In THE FARMING GAME®, each player starts the game with 20 acres inherited from Grandpa. This property includes 10 acres in hay and 10 acres in grain. The 20 acres is not a large enough farm to make a living for a family, so each game farmer must also have a part-time job in town. With each completed trip around the game board you receive $5,000 from your year's wages to plow back into the farm. The object of THE FARMING GAME" is to build your farm large enough to be able to quit the job in town, come home to be your own boss, and farm full time. If you can do that without going broke, you win the game! $250,000 in total net assets are required to win THE FARMING GAME®. The gaming track is the calendar year, with a square for each week. Crops are harvested by the roll of the dice (about as much control as real farmers feel they have over yields and prices received for their crops). In THE FARMING GAME®, there is enough acreage for six players to diversify into a hay, grain, fruit, or cattle operation. Each individual farm is capable of pasturing 20 head of cattle. If any player wishes to run more than 20 cows, he can try to lease one of the range units in the hills. Warning: This family game is so much fun it may become habit-forming!

Great Classic!

I am the creator of this app. I've played The Farming Game board game since I was about 10 years old. When I first got a tablet it was one of the first games I looked for, but I couldn’t find it. When I got started doing apps as an independent developer, I contacted the creators of the game and got permission to do the app for them. This game is a great classic and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.


Good game.

We love to play the board game so we were excited to see this. The play is fast and the layout familiar. The self calculating feature is nice. It is still a little buggy. When I tried to play a special OTB it crashed. Thanks to auto save nothing was lost but the OTB. This has got potential.


Cool find!

Fun game, it's just like the board game I have!


Worth 5 Stars? Maaaaybeee :)

Here's the thing: I love this board game. I grew up playing this game with friends and family and have spent hours upon hours enjoying the old board game. I recently saw the game of Life on the App Store and thought I'd check for the Farming Game... and it WAS THERE!!! You cannot make house rules, but you can give players a jump-start or handicap monetarily. Aside from that, if you love the board game you will be more than satisfied with this $2 app replicating it! :) And that is why it gets 5 Stars IN MY OPINION. I hope this review has been helpful. :)


Excellent adaptation

Well worth the price.

The App works great, and figures harvest $$ much more quickly than doing it manually in the board game. This is fun and brings back great memories of playing the board game for hours on rainy days. Well worth the $.


Needs a fix

Once you go in to the 'Achievements' section or click on the scrolling star banner there is no back button to return to the game! The only way to return is to restart your device and lose your game. Please fix this!!


Not worth it.

This game is totally not worth the price! The graphics are so old and it moves way to fast for me to see. I want my money back! I am disappointed. Therefor, 1 star.


Sloppy programming

When you land in the harvest space for the second time or if you don't own that asset it should not make you click through the harvest menu. Also once a Ridge has been purchased it should take the option to buy that ridge out of the deck. Same for tractors and harvesters. Once all players on these assets they should be removed from the option to buy deck.
