FINCA: a 2009 Spiel Des Jahres Nominee available now!

...And that's a good reason to have a look at it!
 
The gameboard of Finca shows the mediterranean island of Mallorca. Players try to crop and deliver the fruits of Mallorca (such as oranges, lemons, almonds, grapes etc.) by means of moving workers on a traditional windmill. Object of the game is to distribute your crop as effectively as possible in order to deliver faster than your opponents.
 
From the Box: Mallorca, Island of the Wind. A place of golden beaches and a light-blue sea. The almond harvest is at hand, in addition, juicy oranges, lemons, and figs are ready to be picked and taken to the market. Olive trees bewitch the country with their curled branches and sumptuous vineyards invite passers-by to walk among their warm earth. In the midst of this landscape, your centuries-old natural stone farmhouse provides a home and supports your large windmill: your FINCA.

Listen to the wind, which propels your windmill! Then take in the course of the yearly harvest the sweetest and most valuable fruits from the land. Load them on your old donkey cart and travel around the island, selling them everywhere. If you manage this quickly, you will soon be the richest farmer on the island.
 
You can play with up to 5, right now from your browser, and discover how talented a farmer you are:

And that's another amazing release developed by BanBan, thanks to the authorizations of Pandasaurus Games and the game designers duo: Wolfgang Sentker & Ralf zur Linde.
Have a look at the games in progress, you might be curious first, then intrigued.
If you get addicted, let us know in the comments. :)
 
It's Wednesday and that was our release time!
See you around for more amazing titles to come.
Until then, as always...take care and play fair!

Oh my. You just added my favorite game of all time. I'm stunned. Thank you, BGA!
For those that haven't played, it ranges from a serious brain burner (for me) at 2 players. That's where it shines, dueling with another person, blocking them from resources and getting the right resources yourself. The windmill is the critical force behind the game.

At 3 players or up, it is more of a casual family game as you can't try and dictate what transpires as much.

I can't wait to play.

Ned Flanders is hidden in many of the title page artworks for games. It’s just a fun little Easter Egg.
