Description

Players begin with 4,000 dollars and have the chance to make a fortune or go broke by investing in farms and farm related businesses. A property can be purchased only by landing on it and each time a player must decide whether to invest his limited funds or to hope for something better among the 28 farms and 9 businesses available along the track. Cheaper properties are easier to develop but have a smaller payoff when landed on by an opponent. (just like Monopoly). Another decision must be made regarding the 3 different kinds of crops that may be planted on each farm. Again cheaper pays off sooner but in smaller amounts. Once the crop is in a player can add farm equipment in the form of plastic "silo sections" which are piled in strict color sequence. Limited quantities of the best crops and the highest silo section adds to the decision making process. A player may mortgage a property to pay debt or to make other investments and can still collect 10% of his normal fee from a visiting opponent. Other features include taxes, becoming incorporated, luck cards which can be disastrous, selling properties to an opponent or the treasury.
