* BoringButPractical: while playing combinations of cards can become very powerfull, it also costs turns and resources to set it properly up. Instead, simply covering the basics like plowing fields, grabbing resources and food are solid moves to net you points and possibilities in the long run.

''Agricola'' is a EuroGame by Uwe Rosenberg, in which the players take on the role of pre-industrial farmers. (For those of you who [[BilingualBonus speak Latin]], this should not be surprising.) Players use their family members to take various actions to build up their farm:
* Building fences to make pastures, in which one of three kinds of animal (sheep, pigs, and cattle) can be raised.
* Plowing fields, in which grain and vegetables can be grown and harvested.
* Building Major and Minor Improvements to give you an advantage (like letting you produce food or gather certain resources faster).
* Hiring Occupations to help out around the farm and (like Improvements) give you an advantage.
