Acres
Funded on Kickstarter by 273 backers
A tree-farming game set in the yellow pine forests of Arkansas. Draft actions (grow, thin, harvest, go to market), but every player resolves every action. Fence off harvest lanes, buy trucks, build a sawmill, and plan fifteen years ahead. 2-4 players, 90 minutes, ages 12+.
