Agricola: All Creatures Big and Small – The Big Box

A really good worker placement game, abit of a brain burner and I think I'd enjoy the multiplayer version more, but this is a nice game nonetheless.

Fun simplified version of its big brother Agricola. The Big Box version has a TON of buildings tiles adding to it's replayability. Surprisingly there are some tough decisions to be made with 1 VS 1 worker placement. Avoiding certain animals can come back to haunt you with negative scoring. Gaining the 1st player token or accumulated fences with extra land at key moments can feel very satisfying!

A much better version of Agricola in my opinion. Easily taught and fast in setting up and game doesn't last more than 30 min.

Still, not a fans of of Agricola.

• Packs quite a punch into a small package and short playtime; The extra buildings bring quite a bit of variety in how you can approach this game.

• The building two stables into the same pasture and doubling the already doubled capacity always seems like overkill and wrong to me.

ACB&S is a different kind of Agricola game. Unlike the tension of standard Agricola, ACB&S offers an embarrassment of resources to players, but tells them there's no way they can use everything. It's a great way to experience Agricola for two-players when you want something short and don't have time for a fuller experience (niche, but nice to have in the collection). The expansions included in the Big Box ensure the game feels fresh each time, and I would say are probably necessary for this game's longevity.

I like this version. It’s so fast to set up. It is definitely more casual with not having to feed anyone. I like that they didn’t even try to separate the expansions out. Why bother?
