Farm Friends (1995)

About this game

Early in the morning, before the sun comes up, Farmer Sunshine goes out on the farm to feed all the animals. But he can't find them! He can't find Casey the cow, Emily the Lamb, Karen the donkey, or Paul the pig. Suddenly Farmer Sunshine hears Chris the dog barking. Following the sound, he finds all of the animals in the pasture. Oh boy, it looks like it's going to be a busy day! Can you help Farmer Sunshine round up all of the animals before the sun goes down? Farm Friends is a game for young children, and families, that features a colored die for movement. The farmer's tractor is moved around the board as players collect the various animals that have escaped. Players must also collect fence pieces to build pens to house their animals.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 4 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
