Walnut Grove

Walnut Grove is a farming game set in the American West, in which you build your own farm like a jigsaw puzzle. The game runs eight years, and every year has four seasons. In spring you add one or two land tiles to your farm, in summer you do harvest and work, in fall you take your workers to town to do business, and in winter you have to feed and heat everybody. Think of it as Carcassonne's tile laying meeting Agricola's farm life, in a lighter and shorter package. One to four players, about an hour, with a solo mode for quiet evenings.
