Set in Central Europe around 1670 A.D., Agricola immerses players in a world where the Plague that plagued the land for centuries has finally been overcome, revitalizing civilization. As people upgrade and expand their modest wooden homes, they must manage fields by plowing, sowing, and harvesting crops. With diets transitioning from millet gruel and vegetables to include more meat, driven by past famines, players navigate the challenges of a growing economy.

In Agricola, players experience this evolving world and compete to build the most prosperous farm. The wealthiest player at the end of the game emerges victorious.
