Game rules cheerful farmer. Board game super farmer. What to do with the invasion of rabbits
This is a game that was created in 1943 in Warsaw. Then she was called animal husbandry. The author of the game is the famous Polish mathematician, Professor Karol Borsuk. When the Nazis closed Warsaw University, the professor was left without a job... The professor's idea to save the family budget was to sell the game. The sets for the game were prepared at home by the professor's wife... Very quickly, the game became very popular... Not only children played the game, adults also liked it, helping them to spend sad, military evenings.
The original copies of the game burned down along with the city during the Warsaw Uprising in August 1944. By a lucky chance, one of the copies was preserved outside of Warsaw and many years after the war returned to the Borsuk family.
This is what the game looked like animal husbandry in 1943. The sets for the game were made by the professor's wife Sofya Borsukova. The author of the drawings was Janina Slivitska. The Animal Husbandry game became very popular, first among the professor's friends, and then in wider circles.

Rules.
To become a Super Farmer, farming players must breed animals, take care of them, and protect them from the wolf and fox. Farmers can trade animals if they feel it will benefit them. The Super Farmer is the farmer who first gathers a herd of at least a horse, cow, pig, sheep and rabbit on his farm.
The dog needs to be protected.
Need a dog in the protection of a wolf,
And fewer foxhounds.
The dice will be thrown by our player,
The rabbit fell out - be healthy!
And then more and more
Two counted - one counted.
Don't forget to change the layout
Exchange tiles on your turn.
So the game will end the circle -
When the herd boom fell.
Super Farmer - whole game:
Cube, tiles and fields!

Preparing for the game
Each player-farmer is given a game board - this will be his farm. All dog figurines are placed in the center of the table. Cards with animals can be left in the box, or you can arrange them according to the types of animals and put them in the center of the game table - this will be the main herd. Players determine who goes first.
Now the farmer needs to get the first animal into his farm. This can be done by rolling 2 dice. If 2 identical animals are rolled on the dice, the farmer takes the animal from the main herd in the center of the table.
Example : If 2 sheep roll on the die, the farmer takes 1 sheep and places it on his farm. The turn passes to the next player.
animal breeding
When a farmer has at least 1 animal on his farm, the breeding process will go much faster. The farmer now rolls 1 animal from the main herd for each pair of animals of the same species, including animals on his farm.
Example 1 : The farmer has 1 sheep on the farm (obtained on the first turn), now he rolls the dice and the rabbit and the sheep fall on them. It turned out a couple - 1 sheep on a cube and 1 sheep on the farm, the farmer takes 1 sheep from the main herd.
Example 2 : the farmer has 6 rabbits and 1 pig on the farm, the dice rolls a rabbit and a pig, the farmer gets 3 rabbits and 1 pig.
Dogs are bred on the farmer's farm only through exchange.
Exchange
Before each roll of the dice, if desired, the farmer can make 1 exchange - with the main herd or with another player (if the second player agrees to such an exchange). The exchange table is given on the playing field of each player. You can't trade! If there are few animals in the main herd, then the farmer can roll only the number of animals left in the herd.
Example 1 : for 6 rabbits you can get 1 sheep; for 1 sheep you can get 1 small dog; For 1 cow you can get 1 big dog.
Example 2 : the farmer has 6 rabbits, 2 pigs and 1 sheep; the farmer can exchange them all for 1 cow, because 6 rabbits is 1 sheep, 2 sheep is 1 pig, and 3 pigs is 1 cow.
Example 3 : the farmer has 6 rabbits and 2 cows; at the same time, the farmer cannot exchange them for 1 sheep and 1 horse in one exchange.
Animal Loss
If a fox rolls on the die, then the farmer loses all his rabbits (they go to the main herd), if a wolf rolls on the die, then the farmer loses all animals, with the exception of a horse and a small dog (if, of course, the farmer has them).
A good farmer must take care of his herd and protect it from predators roaming nearby: a wolf and a fox. What is needed for this? Well, of course, get the dogs! A small dog will protect the rabbits from the fox, and a large dog will be able to protect the household from the wolf. Dogs can only be obtained through an exchange.
If the farmer has a small dog and a fox is rolled on the dice, the farmer's rabbits remain intact, but the small dog goes into the main herd.
If the farmer has a big dog and a wolf rolls on the die, then the farmer's animals are safe! The big dog itself goes to the main herd. A large dog does not protect rabbits from fox attacks.
Dynamic game option
The rules also describe the dynamic version of the game. This option proposes 3 changes to the main rules. The game is faster in this variant.
Excellent family game which will not leave your family indifferent. Simple Rules, wonderful design and exciting process - this is what makes you constantly order this game from manufacturers.

Oh, and this is not an easy business - farming. Either feed the pigs, or milk the cows, or harness the horse ... Yes, and keep an eye on the rabbits, otherwise they will dig holes and breed. Feeding in the morning, milk in the afternoon, mowing in the evening and everything would be fine, so wolves and foxes showed up in the forest - and they’ll drag off the farm animals. You can't do without Polkan and Tobik! Behind all these worries, it is still necessary to receive income and expand the economy ... In the range there is a travel version of the board game Super ranch-style farmer and mini version Super Farmer Mini
About the game
In the Super Farmer board game, players take control of a farm (ranch) and begin to learn the hard way of animal husbandry. Having received one rabbit, the players, turn by turn, begin to increase the number of their animals, while exchanging one for another at the declared exchange rates. How much to change and when - it already depends solely on the skillful farmer's instinct, which will determine the most successful in this difficult business.
Shall we start?
Give each player a personal tablet - this is a farm plot. On it, in addition to the pen, in which you will keep, breed and exchange your animals, tips are shown - the exchange rate between your pets. Two twelve-sided dice with images of animals: a rabbit, a sheep, a pig, a cow, as well as two predators - a fox and a wolf, which will prevent your herd from growing in every possible way.
Rules of the game Super Farmer (Super Farmer)
Each player's turn is a roll of two dice and a calculation of the consequences of that roll. It is worth noting that animals are represented on the sides in different numbers: the simpler the animal (the lower its level), the more it is represented on the cubes, for example: on the sides of two cubes there are 12 rabbits, 5 sheep and only one cow. Each pair of animals that you have on the farm, taking into account the animal that fell on the cubes, gives rise to one more individual.
For example: you have 3 rabbits, 2 sheep and one pig on your farm. On the faces of the die fell out: 1 rabbit and 1 pig. The result will be an increase in the number of rabbits by 2: (3+1)/2 and pigs by 1: (1+1)/2. Sheep do not produce any offspring this turn because no sheep rolled on the dice.
After performing actions, we pass the move to another player.
What to do with the invasion of rabbits?
With each move, the number of rabbits will grow more and more. How to get rid of them you ask? It's simple: before rolling the die, you can exchange several animals for one or one for several. You can exchange with a common herd or with other players.
In addition, the exchange is the main component of the game, since you can only win in one case - by collecting at least one animal of each type. And since the first cow and horse can only be obtained through an exchange, the importance of this action cannot be underestimated.
Old friends - the fox and the wolf
In addition to the animals that we are so looking forward to on the faces with each throw, a fox and a wolf can fall on the faces of the die. These "friends" are just waiting for the moment to look into our estate and profit. The fox will take all the rabbits, and the wolf will take all the animals except the horse. It's a pity? What can you do? ... Although there is an option
The dog is man's best friend!
To protect yourself from uninvited guests, you will have to get dogs. And we have two different breeds of dogs: a small (white) dog is an excellent fox hunter, and a larger dog (brown) is effective against wolves, but useless against foxes. After meeting with the inhabitants of the forest, our dogs do not return, and they will have to be exchanged again.
Many ways to achieve the goal.
All the basic truths have been voiced, but how each farmer will manage his farm is a separate matter. Someone will take a risk and will breed rabbits in incredible quantities, someone will focus on protecting their herd and protect themselves from forest "friends", someone will quickly get a horse that is not afraid of forest troubles and will wait for an opportunity to exchange it on simpler animals. Everything is in your hands and on your site :)
Video review of the board game Super Farmer
Who is traditionally kept on farms and farms in Russia? Cows, bulls, goats and sheep, and if it is a poultry farm - chickens, geese, less often turkeys or ducks.
But in Buryatia everything is possible!

This is the case when gambling is life changing. Still, there is a benefit computer games, and from " Happy Farm» to a real farm - just one mail order.
Once a relative came to Irina in Upper Sayantuy, sat down to dinner, and his phone beeps. It turned out that he plays at the Farm, feeds chickens, ostriches, cows there. The hostess tried to play and got involved, but she did not become a gamer, but quite a farmer. Without telling her husband, she wrote out the ostriches by mail and confronted the fact while receiving the parcel.
This is how farm life began, ostriches, emus, turkeys, guinea fowls, roosters. 
Let's start with the ostrich. Ostrich - cool, that's my impression of these birds. 
The scientific name of the ostrich in Greek means "camel sparrow". A camel, probably because it stores water, but why a sparrow? 
The ostrich is the largest of modern birds, weighing up to 150 kg and growing up to 270 cm. 
The legs of an ostrich are long and strong, with two toes. One of the fingers ends with something like a heel, a horny hoof - the bird leans on it when running. Due to their height and excellent eyesight, ostriches are the first to notice danger.
In case of danger, they take flight, developing a speed of up to 60-70 km / h and taking steps 3.5-4 m long, and if necessary, abruptly change the direction of running without slowing down. Young ostriches already at the age of one month can run at speeds up to 50 km / h.
If African ostriches had not been bred on farms, they would have been exterminated, the Middle Eastern subspecies was less fortunate, it disappeared in 1966. The reason for the extermination, as well as the reason for breeding on farms, was the demand for flight feathers that went to fans, jewelry and other nonsense.
Currently, ostriches are bred mainly for expensive skin and meat. Ostrich meat resembles lean beef - it is lean and contains little cholesterol. Additional products are eggs the size of 40 hens and feathers.
Facts about ostriches.
There is an opinion that when frightened, an ostrich buries its head in the sand. The popular belief that ostriches hide their heads in the sand to escape from predators originates in the works of the Roman thinker Pliny the Elder, in whose notes we read:
"Ostriches imagine that when they stick their head and neck into the ground, their whole body seems to be hidden."
In fact, ostriches can sometimes be observed bowing their heads to the ground and swallowing sand or gravel. Ostriches select hard pebbles of gravel from the ground, which improve their digestive process.
Also, ostriches simply drop their heads to the ground after a long chase after them, when they no longer have the strength to either run or even keep their heads up. Therefore, ostriches do not hide their heads in the sand.
Ornaments made from ostrich egg shells were discovered in the Denisova Cave in Altai, inhabited 40-50 thousand years ago. 
Ostriches are polygamists and have a harem. 
Ostriches live like people, that is, an average of 75 years. 
Most of the coats of arms of Poland have ostrich feathers in the crest. 
Ostriches can be ridden or harnessed to a stroller. 
On Irina's farm, three ostriches eat 10 kilograms of a mixture of oats, grain, oatmeal, chicken and rabbit food per day. 
And this is Emu, the Australian guest. A large bird capable of taking steps of almost three meters and running at a speed of 50 kilometers per hour. Emu is not an ostrich, as previously erroneously thought, they are closer to cassowaries. Unlike the ostrich, the emu has three toes.
Previously, in Australia, when there was no electricity, emus were used to fuel lamps, apparently it was about subcutaneous fat. 
Emu was not loved on the continent, farmers complained, created their own extermination squads, and then in 1932 the Australian army declared war on the emu. 
The war was short-lived, after the withdrawal of the soldiers, Major Meredith compared the emus to the Zulus and commented on the amazing maneuverability of the emus, even when they are badly wounded. 
The government decided that it would be more economical to pay the farmers for the heads of dead emus than to abandon the troops. 
It seems to me that emus are still genetically disliked by people, judging by their strict appearance, they are up to something. 
From the exotic, let's move on to a chicken coop that is more familiar to Russia. Although there is also African exoticism here. 
These are guinea fowls. Guinea fowl - Pharaoh's chicken. The bird is tasty, but, to be honest, scary. The homeland of guinea fowls is Africa, but they feel great in various regions of Russia when kept both indoors and on walks, and even in cages.
Chief overseer on the farm. The real owner, he knows everything about everyone, keeps an eye on everyone and keeps dirt on everyone. Grey Cardinal. 
Emu, meanwhile, frowned at something completely. He shook his head anxiously. 
He began to get nervous, run in circles, dissatisfied. So it's time for us to go home. 
We recently got to the gift of Santa Claus - the Super Farmer board game in a deluxe version.
The game is quite simple, but the child of 8 years old liked it. She also liked her grandparents, to whom he drove her. And so do my husband and I. In general, Santa Claus pleased with a gift. Now Leshka, going to friends, always takes this game with him.
The rules of the game are quite simple. Each player is given a field on which he will put animal tiles. On the field is a table of the exchange of animals. On their turn, a player can take 2 actions:
1. The player can exchange animals 1 time before rolling the dice - with another player or with the main herd.
2. The player must roll 2 dice (by the way, the dice are twelve-sided, rather large) and after the roll get the animals into his herd, if possible.
To get the first animal, you need to have the same animals on both dice - 2 rabbits or 2 sheep, etc. - this is the most difficult. And then everything will be much simpler - now an animal is issued for each pair of animals, counting the animals on the die and the animals on the player's field. Those. if the player has 1 rabbit, and the dice rolls a rabbit and a sheep, then the player receives 1 rabbit.
The winner is the player who collects at least 1 animal of each type in his herd.
But not everything is so simple: there are still a wolf and a fox on the cubes. The fox eats rabbits, and the wolf eats all animals except the horse and the little dog. But dogs are just needed in order to defend themselves from the fox and the wolf. A small dog will save you from a fox, a big dog will save you from a wolf. By the way, the dog figurines are so cute.
Yes, they are so enticing these now → Yes, they are now such enticing games that I really want to talk about them and insert pictures. 16.02.2012 16:50:59, Etagerka
Yes, the game mechanism is simple, but there it is necessary → Yes, the mechanism of the game is simple, but there you have to be constantly on the alert - constantly keep dogs with you, because without them you can lose everything. My son loves both Zooloretto and 100,000 BC, but he liked this game too: everything is quite simple here, and you can play with friends (the rules are quickly explained), grandparents also quickly understood everything - here This is exactly what I liked about the game, which is both beautiful and simple, and for the whole family. 16.02.2012 21:10:27, Mash
We have played the game many times already, and the wolves → We have played the game many times already, and wolves and foxes always drop out quite often (well, maybe we are so lucky). So we love the game. But how many people - so many opinions. 16.02.2012 21:34:42,
Box dimensions: 270x190x35 mm. Weight: 366 g. The game is great as a road game. In the photo - a box next to an 18 cm doll.
The Super Farmer game from GRANNA is available in two versions - simpler (as in this review), completely with cards, and deluxe - there are figures (dogs), the rest are also cards. I found out about the deluxe option only now, otherwise, of course, I would have chosen it. But a simpler option is also excellent, especially since it is not so important, dog figures, or cards. After all, everything else, both there and there, is the same.
The game is very good - children are very interested, and children different ages! Toddlers can simply lay out cards, older children can play by the rules.
The game has a wolf and a fox that hunt the herd; if there are no guard dogs, then the wolf and fox drag the animals (when they roll on the dice). This is very frustrating for kids, so it is better to play with young children without these malicious predators. :-)

Board game "Super farmer de luxe"
Each of the players becomes a cunning Polish farmer who decides to collect a herd of rabbit, sheep, pig, cow and horse.
The one who can get such a set of animals first by exchanging one for another and breeding will win. But not everything is so simple: the wolf and the fox really want to interfere with the brave farmers and steal animals. 
Each turn, you roll a die that represents a different animal: if you roll an animal that's on the die, you get another one (or a whole generation of rabbits, if that's what they are). Moreover, if you do not yet have such an animal, then the roll will not give anything - to fill the herd, you need to have at least one of each!
The wolf and the fox live in the forest, from where they sometimes attack farms. The fox is not very scary, a small dog can protect it from it. But the wolf is a real predator, and to protect against it you will have to barter a big dog.
There is only one subtlety: big dogs are very rare animals, and therefore there will definitely not be enough of them for all players. You need to think about protection in advance. 
The composition of the game, deluxe equipment:
4 fields with animal pyramids and exchange cards.
On these fields you will need to put your living creatures, 2 twelve-sided dice to determine growth, plus wolf and fox exits from the forest, 120 animals on thick cardboard: 60 rabbits, 24 sheep, 20 pigs, 12 cows and 4 horses (by the way, even if there are several lost, it’s not scary, because it’s rare to lay out all the animals at once), 4 small plastic dog figures, 2 plastic figures of charming big dogs, rules in Russian.
