Agricola – All Creatures Big and Small with More and Even More Buildings Exps.

Introduction
You are farmers raising sheep, pigs, cows and horses. You have three workers on your farm, who will build stalls, enclose
pastures, and upgrade your farm. Stalls become stables, and your cottage can be upgraded into a half-timbered house. The
winner will be the player who has raised the most animals and built the most valuable buildings at the end of the game.

Game End and Goal

The game ends after the 8th round. Both players total their points: the player with the most points wins.

Setup
1. Place the Game Board in the middle of the table.
2. Give both players a Farm Board. Place them so that the forest is at the top and the path is at the bottom.
3. Lay out the 4 Special Buildings (Half Timbered House, Open Stables, Shelter, and Storage Building) next to the
Farm Board.
a. If playing with the expansions, in addition, place 4 Special Buildings at random from the expansion(s) in
play.
4. Place the 4 Farm Expansions (5 Farm Expansions if playing with the expansions), 10 Feeding Troughs, and 4
Stall Tiles (Stables on reverse) ( 5 Stall Tiles if playing with the expansion(s)) to one side of the Game Board.
5. Sort the Building Materials (17 Wood, 15 Stone, and 5 Reed) into piles.
6. Sort the Animals (22 Sheep, 15 Pigs, 13 Cows, 14 Horses) into piles.
7. Pick up the 26 Borders (yellow wooden sticks). Give each player 9 Borders. Place the remaining 8 Borders next to
the “Expand” section on the Game Board.
8. Determine a Start Player.

Gameplay
The game is played over 8 Rounds. Each Round consists of four Phases:
1. Refill Phase
2. Work Phase
3. Home Phase
4. Breeding Phase

Phase 1: Refill Phase

Each action space that has a brown “Refill Arrow” receives the goods depicted next to the arrow. The space is refilled even
if there are still goods on the space from the previous round. Do not add goods to any spaces without a Refill Arrow.

If a refill space is of a Good 1/Good 2 format:

• If the space is empty when Refill Phase comes, place Good 1 on the space;
• If the space has any goods on it when Refill Phase comes, place Good 2 on the space.

Make sure you don’t forget to add 1 yellow Border per round to the “Expand” space to count the round number!

Phase 2: Work Phase

Beginning with the Start Player, players alternate placing a worker and taking the corresponding action until both players
have used their three workers. Once a space is occupied, it cannot be used again this round by either player.
• If an action space containing goods is selected, take the goods on that space.
o Building materials are placed in personal supply
o Animals must be placed straight onto your Farm Board. If you do not have space for any animals you
receive, they immediately run away (and are returned to general supply).
§ Remember that you can rearrange the animals on your farm at any time.
§ Remember that you can release animals from your farm at any time (back to supply) e.g. to
replace them with more valuable animals.
• In order to choose an action space, you must be able to do the action of that space.
• You do not have to have completely filled your main board before making pastures/buildings on your expansion
boards!

Phase 3: Home Phase

All workers return from the Game Board to their farm.

Phase 4: Breeding Phase

At the end of each round, the animals on your farm breed. If you have at least two animals of the same type, you receive
one more animal of that type.
• i.e. You can receive at most 1 Sheep, 1 Pig, 1 Cow, and 1 Horse per breeding phase.
• Newborn animals that you do not have room for immediately run away (and are returned to general supply).

Start Take the start player marker.
Player Also take all the wood from this space and add it to your supply.
and 1 If no-one takes this action, the start player remains the same in the next round. You may take this
Wood action if you are already the start player to retain that status.
3 Wood Take all the wood from this space and add it to your supply.

1 Stone Take all the stone from this space and add it to your supply.

2 Stone Take all the stone from this space and add it to your supply.

Fences Add as many borders to your farm as you want. You can only use borders from your personal
supply. Pay 1 wood for each border you add.
Walls Add as many borders to your farm as you want. You can only use borders from your personal
supply. The first two borders are free. You must pay 2 stone for each additional border. You may
just build the free borders if you wish.

Building Take 1 wood, 1 stone and 1 reed from the general supply and add them to your supply. (This is
Materials not a refill space).

Expand Take one Farm Expansion and add it to the left or right of your farm so that the edges match. You
also receive all of the yellow borders on the Expand space, adding them to your personal supply.
Important! You are not allowed to place the borders with this action. You may take this action
even if there are no Expansions left, to get the borders. A player may have as many Expansions on
his farm as he likes. The total number of available Farm Expansions is limited to 4 (or 5 if playing
with More/Even More Buildings).
Stalls Build exactly 1 Stall. This costs 3 stone and 1 reed. You can add it to any farm space without a
building yet. You may build a stall on a space with a feeding trough.

Feeding Build 1 feeding trough for free. You can build additional feeding troughs for 3 wood each. You
Trough can add them to any farm space without a feeding trough yet.

Millpond Take the reed from this space and add it to your supply. Also, take all the sheep from this space,
and keep them on your farm, or let some (or all of them) run away.

Pigs and Take all the animals from this space, and keep them on your farm, or let some (or all of them)
Sheep run away.

Stables Pay either 5 wood, or 5 stone (but not a combination of both) and turn one Stall over to become
a Stables. You can repeat this action as many times as you want. Stables can hold up to 5 animals.
A stall with a feeding trough becomes a stable with a feeding trough.

Special There are two special building spaces on the board, so two workers (from the same player, or
Building one from each player) can build a special building each round. Whenever you use this space, you
may build exactly 1 available special building, paying the costs shown on the building and adding
it to your farm.
Cows Take all the animals from this space, and keep them on your farm, or let some (or all of them)
and Pigs run away.
 Horses Take all the animals from this space, and keep them on your farm, or let some (or all of them)
and run away.

The Rules of Raising Animals

Animals can be kept in Pastures and in Buildings. Feeding troughs increase the number of animals a pasture or building
can hold.

Keeping Animals in Pastures:

Pastures are used to keep animals. To keep animals in a Pasture, it must be completely enclosed (i.e. have a border all the
way round). The border can be made from any combination of:
• Walls
• Fences
• Sides of buildings – Note that if you build a building along the edge of an existing border, you do not get the border
back into supply, nor does it provide any additional effect.
Each space of pasture can hold two animals. Only animals of the same type can be stored in the same pasture.

Keeping Animals in Buildings:

Animals can also be kept in buildings. At the start of the game you have one building – your Cottage:
• Cottage – You can keep exactly 1 animal in your cottage. If you upgrade your Cottage to a half-timbered house, you
may keep 2 animals of the same type in it.
• Stalls and Stables – A Stall costs 3 stone and 1 reed. Each Stall can hold 3 animals of the same type. A stall can be
upgraded to a Stable at a cost of 5 wood or 5 stone, and can hold 5 animals of the same type. There is also an Open
Stable Special Building, which could also replace a Stall. It can also hold 5 animals of the same type, and comes with a
free horse or cow.
• Special Buildings – The number of animals of the same type that a special building can hold is indicated in the
bottom right of the tile.

Effect of Feeding Troughs

• A feeding trough doubles the number of animals that a pasture or building is capable of holding.
o Remember: You can even place a feeding trough in your starting cottage if you wish!
• A feeding trough on an unenclosed farm space can keep exactly 1 animal.
• A maximum of 1 feeding trough may be added to each occupied or unoccupied farm space.
o Therefore you may have multiple feeding troughs in a multiple-space pasture. (E.g. in a 1x2 pasture with
two feeding troughs, the total pasture can store (2+2)*2*2 animals of the same type (16 animals)).
o You may enclosure a pasture around an pre-existing feeding trough
o You may build a stall or other building on top of a pre-existing feeding trough – the feeding trough is
placed in the building, and doubles the capacity of that building.
o You may upgrade a stall containing a feeding trough to a stable. The feeding trough stays place and
doubles the capacity of the stable.

Component Limitations
• Building materials and animals are unlimited. If you run out, use the cardboard multiplier tiles to signify higher
numbers.
• Feeding troughs, stall tiles, and farm expansions are limited, and when they have been taken by players, no more
are available.

Game End
The game ends after 8 rounds. Rounds are counted down by adding the yellow borders to the board each.

Final Scoring
At the end of the game, calculate your final score as follows:
1. Total number of animals – Count the number of animals you have. Gain 1 point per animal.
2. Animal Bonus Points: Then score points by comparing the number of each type of animal you have with the below
table (points are not limited to 6 if you have additional animals of a type – gain 1 additional VP for each animal
above the top limit for each animal type):
-3 1 2 3 4 5 6
Sheep 0-3 8-10 11-12 13 14 15 16
Pigs 0-3 7-8 9-10 11 12 13 14
Cow 0-3 6-7 8-9 10 11 12 13
Horses 0-3 5-6 7-8 9 10 11 12
3. Each farm expansion where all three spaces has been used is worth 4 points:
a. A farm space is used if it has a building, a feeding trough or is part of a fully enclosed pasture.
b. A farm space is unused if it is part of a pasture that has no borders, or the border does not fully enclose it.
 c. Farm expansions are worth 0 points if they are not fully used.
d. Whether or not your Farm Board is fully used has no effect on your ability to score your farm expansion
boards.
4. Buildings (Stalls, Stables, and Special Building) are worth the points shown on them. The storage building scores
points depending on how many building materials you have in your supply.

The player with the most points wins the game. In the case of a tie, the player who was not the Start Player at the
beginning of the game is the winner.

Special Buildings
NB – If a building uses the wording ‘also’, the part of the action before ‘also’ is mandatory, but the part after ‘also’ is
optional.
NB2 – A building may be built inside a Pasture. A trough in the space being built on is placed inside the building rather
than being applied to the pasture. The pasture is now one space smaller.
