Farm Builder Reviews

Simple and nice graphics.

That's the best carcassone alternative right now. I hope you add expansions soon

This game is similar to Carcassone, but the graphics and multiplayer is great

Pretends to be a country side Carcassonne, but not so well executed

The national flag of language "Traditional Chinese" is wrong. Taiwan is not the province of China.

[h1]Casual game, very close to Carcassonne and such.[/h1] You can play up to 5 players local or in multiplayer (IA/bots too). Design is simple but easy to read...with a very cheap price (plus a discount for the launch). Still not easy to get how they count points for each player...(at the end of each game I mean) [code] Steam achievements : With time I guess that's pretty easy to unlock them all...except for multiplayer ! [/code]

It's a beautiful farm version of "Carcassonne", the popular French board game. The game objective is to score more points than your opponents by constructing and controlling ranches, windmills, water towers, roads and fields. Each turn, the current player automatically picks a random tile that he has to add to the board at a position where it fits. After placing the tile, the active player may position a farmer on a project on it (or a mower on a field on it) to mark it as his. Farmers are taken back once the project is completed; mowers stay where they are till the end of the game. As each player has got only a limited amount of farmers and mowers, farmers should usually only be used if the player is expecting the project really to be going to be completed or if he is planning to take control over an opponent's project. Mowers should be placed on those fields which are going to be expanded the most. Players should not only construct their own buildings but also try to disturb their opponents by placing useless tiles near opponents' projects so that they may not be completed, or take control over them by merging them with projects that are controlled by the player; that way both players will gain the same amount of points for the project. Players may also merge their own projects to multiply the points they score for them as one scores the same amount of points for each meeple involved, but as soon as a project is under a player's control, no further meeples may be placed on it. The AI is incredibly bad and seems to make just random decisions and often doesn't even place its meeples. However, since this is a cross-platform game with a decent playerbase, I usually don't have any problems finding random people to play together with. All in all the game's good and cheap and worth getting it!
