Farm Fuss
Race on elbows and hooves.
Farm Fuss is about the animal race on the farm with Horse, Dog, Goat, Chicken and Pig, among others. How to make each animal have a chance of winning? They must have special movement abilities.
After unfolding the game, draw the initial order of the animals and deal players with cards that look like dominoes. Each card contains pictures of two of the nine animal runners.
During the game, players alternate playing cards, which causes one of the animals to use its movement ability and the order of the race changes. After playing the last card, we give a score – for each played card of the animal that won the race, we get 3 points. Likewise, we score points for animals in second and third places.
Therefore, it is worth following during the game who controls which animals and prevent your opponents from scoring high, by implementing your own strategy yourself.
A lot happens during the game – the favorites are sent off at the end or overtaken by players who were so inconspicuous. The cow pushes everyone, the cat perversely goes to the end of the peloton to take the lead at the right moment, and the goat … she is stubborn and cannot be moved like this.
The variety of effects creates a lot of confusion, which in a four-player game turns into chaos. He is partially controllable, but only the last player can be sure of the order in which the animals will reach the finish line. This is both the greatest advantage and disadvantage of Farm Fuss .
Our score depends on the order of the animals at the end of the game and the number of cards with the winning graphics played. In practice, the initial few moves make no difference to the score, while the last few can turn the scoring upside down. And this is a trait that, when accepted, translates into fun in the game.
We play cards, the order changes, someone will be happy, someone just broke the plan. Some animals have an easier path to victory, others are unpredictable and can win by surprise. Therefore, without taking the game quite seriously and not worrying about animal control, we can have a good time.
