China, 2000 years ago: Loyang (Luòyáng) has risen
to become the Capital of the Han Dynasty and one of the four great
Capitals of old China. The economic upturn of the now-flourishing
city requires a better supply of basic foodstuffs.
You are local farmers, who plant wheat, pumpkins, turnips, cabbages,
beans and leeks in their fields. After each harvest, the farmers
assemble at the gates of Loyang to sell and trade their vegetables.
They deliver to their regular customers or lucratively sell their
vegetables to passing shoppers. Vegetables can also be traded at
Market stalls or used for seed and planted in fields. If the farmers
need vegetables that they don’t have in stock, they can buy
them in the Shop. Twenty different helpers, each with different
individual skills, are available to assist them. The most successful
farmer will be the one who moves furthest along the Path of Prosperity
within the given timeframe. Each step costs more and more money,
which is also needed for investments. Farmers have to find the right
balance.
The coins have square holes, so that they can be held on strings.
They have the Chinese name “Cash”, which is the derivative
of the modern term.
This third game in Rosenberg's harvest trilogoy (Agricola and Le
Havre being the other two) can also be played solo.
