Work the farm in this game of 19th century farmsteading and build a home for your families. Clicking cows won't earn you any cash. This is a simulation of a farmstead experienced in stories which span a generation. Keep them fed, develop their skills, and grow their land in to a Family Farm! Enjoy RPG and board game mechanics designed by the creator of dozens of board games.

Improve the soil and watch the weather to grow your crops. Keep poultry and livestock. Raise a new generation to run the farm.

The game presents a bird's-eye view of the farm, with the ability to zoom in and out. The game world is tile-based, so you can easily plan fields, corrals, orchards and other game objects.

As family members work they improve their skills, which makes them faster . Highly skilled characters also have a much better chance of improving the farm as they work! Yields are determined by properties of crops in relation to soil fertility, weather and additional work.
