About the game
A light family dice game for 2-4 players by designer Rüdiger Dorn, in which players grow their own farm and run a farm shop. Each turn, three dice are rolled: one selects a new expansion to add to your farm, while the other two determine which field activates for everyone at the table. These fields let players milk cows, shear sheep, harvest honey, or collect eggs, generating raw materials to sell for profit. The player who earns the most money at the end wins.
Hobbli's Notes
My Farm Shop is a breezy, family-friendly dice game with the light touch you'd expect from designer Rüdiger Dorn. The clever twist where every player benefits from the active player's dice roll keeps everyone engaged even outside their own turn, which helps its very low downtime grade (A). At 45 minutes, it's an easy, pleasant filler for mixed-age groups rather than a deep strategic test. A solid pick for casual and family game nights.
What we like
- Very low downtime (A grade) keeps all players engaged every turn.
- Simple, accessible rules suit family and casual play.
- Charming farm theme with varied resource types.
- Designed by veteran designer Rüdiger Dorn.
Keep in mind
- Light complexity (2.0) means limited depth for serious strategy gamers.
- Heavy dice reliance introduces significant luck.
- Shared dice results can feel repetitive over multiple plays.
Who it's for
Great for families with kids aged 8+ and casual gamers looking for a light, quick farming-themed dice game.
