My Farm Shop | Rahdo's Final Thoughts

[@ManL02]

I kept avoiding playing Great Western Trail because of the cover, now it's one of my top games! Never judge a book eh!

[@elqord.1118]

That box cover is a sin honestly. Couldn’t bring that home with a straight face. Would have to buy this secretly and store components outside of the box (and burn the box :D)

[@rahdo]

i do like the art, but yeah, it was a bit misleading :)

[@schoko-fan4370]

With 4 players it can also have quite some downtime cause everybody has to think a bit over how to use the dice best considering using supplies to change a die. But on the other hand, once the decision is made, everybody gets to activate a field so they are involved in every turn.

I feel like I've seen this before, because I believe I preordered from Rahdo's runthrough already.

[@rahdo]

i talked about it in a monthly roundup summary back in summer :)

[@sorrowsong08]

@Rahdo That's it. :) I was sure I preordered because of one of your videos. I also got funfair and the lost ruins of arnak expansion on that order.

@@randalladkins7452 nope not that i recall :)

[@randalladkins7452]

@@rahdo Sorry, I probably saw that on another Board Game channel and confused it with yours. I tend to follow a lot of board game youtubers :/

[@anactualcloud]

space base and the valeria games are in this category as well and this beats them?

[@rahdo]

to my tastes, definitely yes :)

[@masterbridgemaster1]

I have had this pre-ordered for almost a year, now, waiting for it to show up in the states... almost as long as Café (15 months and counting...)

[@xChikyx]

I admit i would 110% pass this game with that art

[@RuNacken]

But you did mention the game back in the summer I recall right? With a round-up video or something, I can't recall exactly, but it made me buy the game back then :) I played with my wife and we liked it, but I do think the farm-cards are too 'safe'. Our engines never really became insane money-generators: the game to me feels too much like an engine-builder with training wheels on. Great to see you're still enjoying it so much though!

[@rahdo]

Good memory :)

[@adamp3628]

Automania also had a similar cover art, deeper-level game.

[@rahdo]

yup very similar situation here :)

[@twinkle04evr]

I am excited for Bad Company, but this one looks interesting too...price point is lower than Bad Company.

[@Olvenskol]

I agree! Looked very skipable, but the game play looks amazing!

[@arsh0189]

you are farmer?

[@rahdo]

no, but my wife does gardening :)
