Crazy Farmers !

[thinkb4coding]

I'm delighted to announce that Crazy Farmers and the Clôtures Electriques is now in Beta !

https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=crazyfarmers

To discover this new game that will be Kickstarted the 18th of June, you can watch the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0_UYCBJytw




Crazy Farmers And The Clotures Electriques is an equally accessible and wacky game for 2-4,
where you’ll get to experience the best UFC games ever. As you may wonder, UFC stands
for Ultimate Farming Championship. In 2042, the European Union has long since cut off
financial aid to farmers. In order to get out of this situation, farmers created a competition for
the installation of electric fences, which very quickly attracted the attention of the public and
sponsors.
So now is the time for you to enter the arena and become the best electric fence installer.

During your turn, move your tractor along the paths on the board. Place electric fences
behind you. As soon as you surround a plot with your fences, take control of it. As soon as
you control a certain number of plots (depending on the number of players), you win the
game. However, it will not be that simple. You will need to be on the lookout, as your
opponents will try to stop you by cutting your electric fences or playing event cards...

Thank you to the alpha testers for their thorough testing, useful suggestions and reviews:

Played it once, gonna try with more players now it may not be my favourite type of game but the implementation is flawless. Looks and works great.

le jeu est très chouette, même si le principe est simple, en quelques parties on commence à sentir qu'il peut y avoir des retournements de situation assez massifs, donc faut quand même se creuser un peu la tête

Don't hesistate to file suggestions or bugs since the game is still in Beta.

Have fun !

Crazy Farmers and the Clôtures Electriques est désormais en Beta !

https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=crazyfarmers

Pour découvrir ce nouveau jeu qui sera sur Kickstarter le 18 Juin, vous pouver regarder le trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0_UYCBJytw

Crazy Farmers and the Clôtures Électriques est un jeu aussi accessible que déjanté, pour 2-4 joueurs, qui vous fera vivre les plus beaux matchs de l’UFC. Mais qu’est ce que l’UFC ? Il s’agit de l’Ultimate Farming Championship. En 2042, l’Union Européenne a, depuis longtemps, coupé les aides aux agriculteurs. Pour s’en sortir ces derniers ont créé une compétition de pose de clôtures électriques qui a très rapidement attiré l’attention du public et les sponsors.

Vous rentrez donc à votre tour de l’arène pour devenir le meilleur poseur de Clôtures Électriques.

À votre tour de jeu, vous déplacez votre tracteur le long de chemins présents sur le plateau. Vous déposez derrière vous des clôtures électriques. Dès que vous entourez une parcelle avec vos clôtures, vous en prenez le contrôle. Dès que vous atteignez un certain nombre de parcelles (dépendant du nombre de joueurs), vous gagnez la partie. Mais ce n’est pas si simple car vos adversaires essaieront de vous mettre des bâtons dans les roues en coupant vos clôtures électriques ou en jouant des cartes événements…

Merci aux testeurs de l'alpha pour leurs tests intensifs, leurs suggestions pertinentes et leur reviews:

rules question. In the rule leaflet it says you are limited to the number of fences you own, and if you run out you would have to backtrack (a disastrous move most likely) but on BGA I don't see that this number is tracked anywhere. Is the limit used on BGA? It isn't explicitly stated in the rules, but based on components I am guessing that limit is 15 for 2p and 10 for 3-4p.

[Chauff]

Oh, good question. But it seems to be 30 and 20, not 15 and 10

[sprockitz]

ahh yes 30 and 20. I saw 30 red/yellow and thought 15 red and 15 yellow for 30 total, but the rest of the image clearly shows it is 30 of each. those numbers do make it much less likely to run out.

[thinkb4coding]

Yes, reaching the maximum number of fences has not been seen in a versus game. You get cut before reaching that point. But it can happen in solo game. Whatever it's safer to add the rule just in case.

[Ruediger_Klings]

Nice game to play online - I think there might be quite some overhead playing it with physical pieces.
Very straegic (up to the point where the cards come into play

I see the following problems however that should be tackled:
- First mover advantage
-- gets bigger patch without being threatend
-- gets power cards first
- The game rules to not properly explain the game end / win condition for a 2 player game

[CanuckEddie]

Are you supposed to be able to rock your tractor back and forth across already travelled adjacent locations to burn movement and end up moving less?

I just conceded a game because I either had to copy my opponent and do that too, or take suboptimal moves to just move the game along.
