Start for freeWhat to Expect
In Agribizz, players start with $4,000 and invest in farms and related businesses by moving around the board. You can only buy properties by landing on them, and you decide which crops to plant and whether to add farm equipment. Financial decisions, mortgages, taxes, and luck cards influence the gameplay and your path to fortune or bankruptcy.
Who Is This Game For?
Agribizz is suited for players who enjoy classic roll-and-move games with economic investment elements. It is a mid-weight game with about 90 minutes playtime. Some experience with investment and ownership mechanics is helpful due to strategic financial planning.
How It Works
Players roll dice to move around a track featuring farms and businesses. Landing on a property allows you to purchase or invest in it. You choose crops to plant and add silo equipment in sequence to increase returns. Mortgages free up capital, while taxes and luck cards add unpredictability to the game.
What Makes It Special
Designed by Stephen Turner, Agribizz blends territory building with roll-and-move mechanics reminiscent of Monopoly. Released in 1980, it stands out for integrating agricultural themes with economic decision-making though it is not part of a specific game family.
