Expansion Fields of Green: Grand Fair

Fields of Green takes place in the second half of the 20th century. Players take the role of farm owners trying to expand their property and business. By adding fields, livestock and facilities, they build an economic engine that will bring them closer to victory.

Fields of Green, inspired by Among the Stars, is played over four rounds (years) during which players draft cards and add them to their ever-expanding farms. At the end of each year comes the harvest season when they must water their fields, feed their livestock, and pay maintenance costs in order to receive valuable resources that will allow them to further expand in the next year.

Through various means, player eventually convert their wealth to victory points, and the player who gathers the most by the end of the fourth year wins.

Another option….

After many reviews I opted to get this rather than wingspan. I haven’t played the other but am satisfied with this purchase. Have the expansion so can now play solo but haven’t gotten it to the table yet.

Farming fun!

This review is actually for the solo experience, which you need the Grand Fair expansion for (see my review there), but you’ll need the base game first! For me, it’s a keeper.

A fun euro-style tableau builder

I’ve grew up on farms, so let’s just say I wasn’t necessarily stoked about trying this game, I assumed it’d be at least wrong and most likely wrong and stupid....

And it turns out I was wrong (as per usual)

It’s a lot of fun, from buying buildings and expanding your fields, to trying to position your water towers just perfectly for maximum coverage. When you buy a building or crop or field it pretty much always feeling thematically correct, for me, lots of games of this ilk tend to just be “oh look at this card with points on it, and oh! I want points! look at me go!” then someone asks, but what did you buy/collect? and I say “who cares, it’s points!” and this game doesn’t generally suffer from that.

The end game scoring can be a little more “euro” but not in anyway that really detracts from the rest of the experience.

I recommend it for sure, and one additional thing, at first I thought the card size was a little awkward, but after playing you quickly realize that this thing takes up a lot of space for just a game of cards, so it was a good call with the card size.
