My Farm Shop

I recently picked up "My Farm Shop" and was pleasantly surprised by its depth. While the artwork and theme might initially suggest a lighter family game, don't let that fool you. This game has a clever engine that requires more than just dice rolling luck to win. It's a mid-weight game that's not too heavy for occasional gamers, but also offers enough challenge for more experienced players.

The game is easy to learn, with simple rules that are explained clearly in the manual. The core mechanic is based on rolling three dice, with one used to purchase a card for your farm and the other two determining the field that activates for all players. This creates a dynamic system where you can influence what actions others take, and vice versa.

I love the theme and find it refreshing compared to similar games like "Machi Koro." The game has a good flow with minimal downtime, and everyone gets to do something on each turn. The components are high quality, and the game comes with three expansions that add even more variety.

Overall, "My Farm Shop" is a great choice for families and gamers alike. It's fun, engaging, and offers a good balance of strategy and luck. I highly recommend giving it a try!
