Read the full game description
Farms Race is a competitive area-control game set after a mysterious agricultural mutation gives farm animals both intelligence and weapons. Each player commands a faction across a modular hex map, earning victory points by building barns and armories, conquering valuable regions, and completing faction objectives. Dice-driven attacks, income, spies, trading, and escalating technology create a deliberately unruly contest in which table deals can matter as much as troop placement. The first faction to reach ten victory points wins, but hidden points and sudden take-that effects make the finish hard to read.
