[QUOTE="cattle_gal, post: 56645, member: 643"] With all the new folks wanting to get into the business it dawned on me there is a board game that would be wonderful to play to get some knowledge of how things work. I got this game last year for x-mas. they also have the construction game which I tried to get but it's always sold out. The Farming Game was made up by a farmer and it is great to play for anyone. Now if you want to find out which makes the most net capital(game ends at $250,000 net) try one person not borrowing anything(if you can get away with it) and one person borrowing to buy cows, cropland, equipement). But of course there is lots of disaster cards to make you pay or lose things. There the website is [url=http://www.farmgame.com/]http://www.farmgame.com/[/url] Here's some words from the website: This classic family boardgame "is better than Monopoly®" - it's every bit as competitive, but it doesn't require you to do anyone dirty to win.
