About the game
La Granja: Deluxe Master Set is an expanded reimplementation of the 2014 farming game La Granja, where 1-4 players manage small farms near a Majorcan pond, drafting dice, playing multi-use cards, and delivering goods to market. Each round follows a structured farm and revenue phase, with players choosing whether to expand their fields, extend their farm, fulfill contracts, or hire powerful helper cards. The deluxe edition adds new modular expansion content designed by the original creators along with contributions from Stefan Feld and other notable designers, plus upgraded components and new artwork. It's a rich, replayable economic engine-builder that rewards careful long-term planning across six rounds.
Hobbli's Notes
Hobbli's team is impressed by how much strategic depth La Granja packs into its dice-drafting and multi-use card systems, where every card offers several different uses depending on your farm's needs. The deluxe edition's added modules and expansion content give it exceptional replay value for dedicated groups. It's a heavier Euro game that rewards optimization and careful resource management over many rounds. The upgraded production values make this an especially attractive edition for fans of the original.
