Agricola: All Creatures Big and Small

za trudna

I should have read comment before buying this game. I love the board game but this digital version SUCKS!!!!! In my first game I bought something that I could not place and there was no way to do anything other than quit the game. No save. Hard to read menu as it is all symbols. Don't buy it and I won't play it again. Money wasted.

updated to death. gj KI programmer.

I love the game itself. I've played the full version of Agricola, and was very excited to play a pared down version of the game on computer. All Creatures Big and Small is fun. The adaptation would be great... EXCEPT.. as at least one other person has mentioned, the expansion doesn't work AT ALL. When you select the additional buildings, it throws a big red text banner over your player claiming that you don't have the expansion. You cannot hit play. Exiting doesn't fix it. Resetting the game doesn't fix it. Verifying files doesn't fix it. Nothing you do fixes it. On certain, very rare occasions, you may get lucky and it will suddenly work, but the next time you play, it won't. 9 times out of 10, it won't. In my opinion, it's not worth the $1 it's on sale for. What good is a game if you can only play the tutorial version of it? Playing with the same layout and the same cards every time gets boring very quickly.

Agricola: All Creatures Big and Small is a great digital adaptation of the popular board game. This is a two player game about running a farm, breeding, and housing four different animal species. It plays over eight rounds. Area and resource management are key. One might consider this an engine building game but the end creeps up on you so abruptly that every round requires planning and targeted growth to win. You want animals to breed. You need a place to put those animals. You need a place to put their offspring. Every animal you don't have enough of at the end of the game is negative points. You can buy fence rails to expand your farm. There is depth to this game that you don't know is there at first. The AI opponents are challenging, and the multiplayer mode allows you to play with others online. The game is easy to pick up and play, but offers enough depth to keep you engaged. If you're a fan of the board game or just enjoy resource/area management strategy games in general, Agricola: All Creatures Big and Small is definitely worth checking out. A small caveat: Multiplayer is mildly infuriating with how long it takes other people to take their turn. I believe the time limit is 24 hours...so it could potentially take SIXTEEN days to finish a game if both players took maximum time. The fast / speed queue has never worked for me.

A couple of bugs, mostly triggered when I was learning. I made a choice I couldn't do (my bad), but then the game wouldn't let me move forward so I had to restart. The game itself is fun and the three levels of AI are good as you're learning. I haven't tried it against anyone yet.
