This is a rule modification we use whe we play. When you hit the "Farming Like a Pro" space, you skip to the end, but you get to stop and get ALL the harvests along the way.

After all, how much of a pro are you if you don't get to harvest?

My friend and I have gotten so into the game that when ever one of us goes any where for a vacation or something we'll play it before we leave even if it's at 11:30 at night. We're addicted to the game! We usually play only each other because we've made up some of our own rules (we let each other "cheat" a little)

This game is the best!

By the way, I too have loved your farming game and our family used it alot when we were home schooling and now our sons are older we still play it. Its so realistic. I love it.

Thank You!!

I first played this game about 10 or so years ago. It was sadly ruined by a moist storage spot. We recently bought it again, and are thrilled do be playing...I have a younger cousin who is staying with me...we play at least once, sometimes twice a day! Interestingly enough, we don't get bored, unlike Life or Monoploy.

Thanks for having this game. It makes me feel knowledgable. (I live in the Tri-Cities, so this is close to home, and we understand it far better here than we did in the western side of the state) I have spoken to some farmers at career fairs and such, and I always sound so SMART!

Again, thanx!!

Just wanted to drop you a note. My brothers and I started playing your original board game probably around 1984 - 85. We always had a great time playing it. Having grown up on a pig farm in central Alberta, this was the most realistic farm type game we had seen. (It's much more relevant to farm kids than Monopoly.) We had many hours of enjoyment (and a few fights) over that game.

We occasionally will pull it out and play still even though we're all in our 20's and one brother has his own real farm. When I saw there was a computer version, I knew that I just had to pick it up.

Thanks for many years of fun.

I love your game. I played it in Yakama and I liked it so in new York I bought it. I think you have Monopoly beat by a mile. Wendy B

Dear Farming Game,

We love your game!!! We got it when it 1 st came out and have worn it out so much, that we had to apply 3M clear tape to the board, so the vinyl acre thingys would stick!!! We had friends over to play ALL NIGHT LONG!!!

We calculated the harvests, so they'd increase, made up our own chart, and played into the $MILLIONS! Whoever "BROKE THE BANK", won!! (What a thought- 'break the bank' by FARMING!!!) Oh, Well. Thanks for the fun. I seem to remember some take-offs of the game- "CONSTRUCTION??" or something like that???

Bye!

Curious to know if stores carry this game and which ones? Please email me asap. Tried the game for the first time last night and my family is hooked. We want to play tonight but don't know where we can get our hands on one. Thanks!

Thank you so much for answering my email and letting us know where to get the game. My husband left work early today and picked it up. As soon as he got home with it, our kids wanted to play immediately. We just now stopped because my husband has a meeting to attend. My kids were even wanting to skip dinner so they could continue to play. Its a wonderful game.

Thank you so much!

My husband and I were in Everett, Washington attending my father's funeral in December. My nephew had this game and it was so much fun that we played it quite often. Then, my sister and her family sent us the board game for our birthdays and we have been really enjoying it.

Now, we would like the computer game. This was really a great idea. The frustations in the game are really similar to farming. All the expenses and farmers fate go hand in hand. This is thousands time better than Monopoly.

Thanks,

I am thrilled to have found your website! We bought our Farming Game in Seattle at a specialty toy store in 1979, I believe. We have "sold, bought, and lost the farm" probably thousands of times since then. The . Farming Game is always our son's first choice for gameboard entertainment. He's 16 1/2 now and has been playing since he was 4.

Our question to you. What is the chance of purchasing another set of game money. Ours is tattered and dog-earred and is screaming for replacement.

Let us know. We love your game, and as a 5th generation ranching family we can vouch for the reality of it all!

We got this game as a gift, and love it. We have played it with many different friends, who also wanted copies. We've given 4 or 5 of them as Christmas or birthday presents. It's great.

George,

Have enjoyed your the pc version of our game. Just wanted to say that the sounds are so real that when I play the game, it drives my cats crazy! They're so afraid there's a cow nearby!
