La Granja: No Siesta

A lighter dice-drafting farm game: roll, draft, cross off resources and hire helpers before the siesta track ends.

The dice game cousin of the farming boardgame La Granja, minus the heavy machinery. In La Granja: No Siesta, you roll dice every round and draft them until each player has at least three to score with, then cross off resources on your own scoring sheet. Hire helpers for special effects, build a barn to store goods, and every so often take a break, because a Siesta advances the track that ends the game. Whoever turned their harvest into points most effectively wins. It lifts the dice mechanism out of the big game and makes it lighter, playable alone or with up to four, in around forty-five minutes.

Who it's for

You like roll-and-write games with dice drafting and a farm theme, especially as a duel or solo.

Not for you if…

You want the full strategic weight of the original La Granja, or a game with no dice.

Vibe's take

Brisk and puzzly, with a satisfying feel of ticking things off your sheet. The draft keeps you watching what others take, and the siesta track adds a gentle clock.
