Update News
Agricola All Creatures Big & Small Releasing
August 2, in the year of our Lord 2016 --
Developed by board game experts DIGIDICED, the game will launch
on iOS, Android, and Windows 10 (Universal Windows Platform) --
and will retail for $4.99.
THE GAME
In Agricola: All Creatures Big & Small, the player is the owner
of an old farmstead with a bit of land. However, a neighboring
farmer happens to have a competitive streak -- so all bets are
off! Whether competing against each other or CPU, players must
use their wits to acquire and manage both resources and
livestock over eight rounds -- while attempting to strategically
deploy buildings -- in a mad dash for farm and fortune.
MULTIPLAYER
At its core, Agricola: All Creatures Big & Small is a
competitive 1v1 ranch-themed board game. Like previous DIGIDICED
releases Patchwork and Le Havre: The Inland Port, the game
supports cross-platform multiplayer worldwide -- allowing
Android, iOS, and Windows players to challenge each other based
on skill alone.
HOW TO PLAY
In Agricola: All Creatures Big & Small, each player has three
workers that are sent to a nearby village market to acquire
resources/livestock. Each of the 16 locations in the market
serve a unique purpose -- raising livestock, producing
resources, or allowing the player to purchase structures.
Players take turns placing their workers throughout the market,
with each location only capable of supporting one worker per
round.
Before players can start breeding animals, they will first need
to make sure pastures are fenced. (No one wants their animals to
escape!) Once fenced, each pasture can support two animals;
special structures (such as a trough or stalls) can be purchased
from the village market to increase the amount of animals each
pasture can hold. Players can also buy additional plots of land
to expand their ranch. At breeding time, all that’s left is to
place two animals of the same species in the same pasture -- and
they’ll take care of the rest!
