Agricola - Fruit Tree variant
BGG user senseless has suggested a Fruit Tree variant for Agricola.
For this variant, you may want to use the original cube cows that came with the game as trees, and the E deck minor "fruit trees" as an additional action card:
- Plant a tree [1+]: You may plant 1 tree on one of your unused parcels or in one of your parcels with 1 tree.
The rules for fruit trees are as follows:
- You may only plant a tree in an empty space or a space with only 1 tree.
- The spaces must be orthogonally adjacent to other spaces with trees (like everything else)
- Spaces with trees aren't unused.
- At every harvest, each tree produces 1 food.
- At any moment, you may cut down a tree to receive 1 wood*. Return that tree to the supply.
- If all the trees on a space are cut, that space is now unused.
At the end of the game you receive points for your trees:
Trees Points*
0 -1
1-2 1
3-4 2
5-6 3
7+ 4
This variant will be featured in the upcoming Ñ Deck, so please test it!
