Agricola: All Creatures Big and Small
Developer DIGIDICED
Agricola is a Euro-style board game created by Uwe Rosenberg. It is a worker placement game with a focus on resource management. In Agricola, players are farmers who sow, plow the fields, collect wood, build stables, buy animals, expand their farms and feed their families. After 14 rounds, players calculate their score based on the size and prosperity of the household. From Wikipedia (CC BY-SA 4.0)

Counted from the reviewers’ own thumbs up/down on the 73 English Steam reviews we collected, not by the AI. Valve’s all-language rating: Mostly Negative (52 of 133 positive).
Some players praise the adaptation as faithful and fun, especially for fans of the board game. [1][2] Many reviewers criticize the port for bugs, poor UI, and a lackluster tutorial. [3][4][5] Several players note the game is a simplified two-player version, not the full Agricola experience. [6][7][8]

A good adaptation of the board game (All Creatures Big and Small, the smaller, 2 players version of Agricola, focused on animal husbandry). The interface works well, all is quick and clear. You can easily access the different screens and find information: your farm, the main board with the different actions (just click on them to see what they do), your adversary's farm. The tutorial is good. I also wanted to see …

Agricola is a very good two player game and I like it very much. It is a low priced game that could entertain you for hours and hours in competative game play or just a few minutes per game to beat the AI or your best friend. It´s up to you. "Agricola: All Creatures Big and small" is a good port from the board game to the digital world. Digidiced did it well to stay close to the original board game from Uwe …

Short version: Broken Expansion, Broken Achievements, Dead Multiplayer, Overpriced The game only seems to work if you disable expansions and use the same very limited amount of buildings over and over, If you try to load a multiplayer game with more buildings enabled it spits out a connection error and from what I could gather this issue doesn't seem uncommon either. Without the expansions however the game loses a …

If you are expecting a deep and complex game like Agricola... you will be disappointed. All Creatures Big and Small is a similar but watered down version of the original game. Here you are tending to animals and finding the right combonation of pastures and structures to get the points needed to win. Frankly it is neither fun, interesting or deep for a mature boardgame player. For a kid, this might be a better game. …

Reluctantly, I have to give the game a thumbs down. While it is a pretty faithful version of the actual boardgame, there are occasional glitches that can cause the game to freeze. The most common one for me has been the AI doing nothing on it's turn. It just stops doing anything. I also really wish it had a bit more of a tutorial. it's been years since I played the physical version and I forgot a lot of things in …

60 of 253 · most liked firstA few example gaming opinions that quickly tell me we won’t be compatible as game designers and maybe even players: “Agricola is a gateway game” “The Mind isn’t even a game, it’s an activity” “Party games are a waste of time” “Any coop game that doesn’t solve alpha player is worthless”

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's now our third best selling game of all time, and closing in fast on Agricola MoB. It will definitely take second soon. Table Battles is a little farther ahead but I think Six Moons taking the top slot by the end of the year is still doable.
neutral · AI labelView post →I once got (playfully) scolded by a boardgame designer for claiming that 'the more boring the theme, the better the game'. It's obviously an exaggeration, but... kinda true? Brass, Power Grid, Agricola, Pipeline, My Village, Autobahn, Black Forest... all rather dry themes, all great games.
neutral · AI labelView post →ha, no, I am just reminiscing about "you should take the word 'Agricola' out of the title of this game about the actual human man Agricola" & "I think it's more balanced to call it 'The Guilty Land?' with a question mark" & "you should call it 'Deathsticks' or 'Selling Doubt' instead"
neutral · AI labelView post →I don't know about anyone else, but the easiest way to grab my interest for a board game is showing what it looks like in play. Double if it's a map with some kind of dude on it. (Baltic Empires: The Northern Wars of 1558-1721, by @gmtgames.bsky.social Ft Agricola meeples)
neutral · AI labelView post →Edit: some time in: so it is playable and only takes a little getting used to, not a pile o poo on your corn flakes, but ultimately still smells like lies when sold as a PC title. The biggest problem this game has is the same as so many board games on the PC. A lot fo the joy of the play is lost when so much of the game is automated, and there is no real personal interaction at the table, so it all feels a bit rinse repeat chore like rather quickly. This is easy to see in Dominion. Play at…

neutral · AI labelView post →Be careful: Artificially underrated game. Most of players were expecting Agricola because they don't even know this 2-player version "All Creatures..." from 2012. This is the port of the Mobile game. Pros : Good adaptation of the game. Extension included. Online+Split screen. Cons : Mobile interface (no work to adapt to mouse or controller) Conclusion: to buy at 50% off if you already know another player.

positive · AI labelView post →I love playing Agricola in real life, and I wanted to try out the digital version of All Creatures Big and Small before buying it for a friend and I to play (it's hard to get enough people to play the full version of Agricola). The user experience is horrible and the tutorials teach you nothing about how to play the game. If you bother to read the rules and figure out how to play, you still won't have any fun with this. I don't know if All Creatures Big and Small is fun to play in person, but…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Still moving (but nearly done!) games are some of the last in the storage unit. I have a renewed appreciation for reasonably sized games. Should Agricola take up nearly a whole shelf? idk. real sad about my not soloable games. hope i can play em some day. idk how to sort this, any ideas?

neutral · AI labelView post →I've started playing 20-28 rounds of Agricola instead of the usual 14 because the players in my group feel like they're just getting into the groove of things during stage 5 of 6. We also limit the total amount of sheep you can purchase to 6 because they usually breed too many and the points are capped at 8 sheep anyway. It's mostly to make sure people are diversifying enough to stay competitive and not suddenly find themselves really far behind because they forgot to focus on crops/other…

positive · AI labelView post →So last week we covered Agricola, now we look at Caverna, the carefree, more extravagant and also more hirsute sibling game from the same designer Uwe Rosenberg. How does a more open game featuring dwarfs compare to good old misery farm. youtu.be/DSPlDeyDkic

Compact, charming, tight, & with a changing suite of bonus buildings that make every game slightly different. It's chill & welcoming but interactive & thinky & never overstays its welcome. What a treasure.
