It is a beautiful day in the Yellow Pine forests of Arkansas and through the trees you hear a light humming. Is it a train? No, you hear the snap of a branch, then another, then a quick, “TIMBER!” as a tree is being logged. Was that on your property?
Acres is a game about controlling harvest lanes, leveraging long term investments, and planning fifteen years at a time. Acres is a game of simple rules but sharp decisions centered around the Lumber industry.
Players will draft actions from a set of four options:
- Growing trees
- Thinning an acre
- Harvesting lanes
- Go to market
While the players have drafted specific actions, all players will resolve all actions. The players who drafted specific actions receive action specific bonuses.
Throughout the game players have the opportunity to purchase: fences, blocking other players from harvesting lanes, additional trucks, to harvest more trees at a time, and Assets investments such as starting their own sawmill company or increasing truck capacities.
The player at the end of six rounds with the most money wins!
2-4 Players, 60-90 Minutes
On the family tree farm, fences are rare, and land is shared… until it isn’t. Each turn, plant, grow, and harvest trees growing your wealth and share of the family fortune.
You'll have to carefully manipulate the turn order to score big with action bonuses based on how you draft.
The Area Control Game for your family
Trying to harvest as many trees as possible is goal number one, how you do that will be planned according to how well and far your truck can travel!
The sneaky mechanic that players will be introduced to is AREA CONTROL, meaning, the more fences you place in the forest, the more acres you protect for just your truck come harvest time!
The MCW tree farm has been in our family for generations, bringing a game inspired by the farm is our thank you letter for all of the fantastic memories!
