FAQs

What is Farms Race?

Farms Race is the supreme leader of board games. It's light-hearted, aggressive, and plays like a Eurogame with nukes.

Is it good?

Over 100% of our playtesters gave it positive reviews, according to internal polling.

Plus, we're stacking up good reviews over on BoardGameGeek.

What's so good about it?

It's fast-paced, asymmetric, well-balanced, and accessible. It's also pretty funny, if we do say so ourselves.

Where are the tech trees, variable unit types, and complex economic engines, like in Eclipse and Scythe?

We think the best strategy games are like Go and Chess - the rules are simple but the choices are complex and meaningful.

So that's what we did with Farms Race: every turn you have a small number of important decisions to make, and you need to pay a lot of attention to what's going on around you.

Don't get us wrong though, we love Eclipse and Scythe!

What's all this about "Euros"?

Euros, or German-style games, are peaceful trading games like Catan, Agricola, and Carcassonne.

They offer idyllic pastoral escapism to anxious nerds, and winning is about as exciting as counting sheep (we're looking at you Agricola).

Farms Race parodies the genre by mixing familiar Euro-style themes with a more historically accurate dose of conflict and warfare.

Wow... so "Euro" and "Gyro" are different then?

Yes. We love them both, but you can't eat a "Euro".

So do you or don't you like "Euros"?

We like them but, as Muricans, we think they need nukes and guns.

Are you communists?

No. We believe in a kind of anarcho-syndicalist commune watch Monty Python and the Holy Grail for more info).

But Farms Race is communist, right?

Yes, definitely. Pig brother is watching

Is that Kim Jong Un on one of the cards?

That's just a totally normal sheep who might nuke you at any given moment for no real reason.

What can Farms Race teach me about the decline of American democracy?

We promise this game has absolutely nothing of any value it can teach you about anything. Ever.
