Agricola

Released in Germany around a year ago, a game called Agricola has become the number one rated game on Boardgamegeek. This has caused some controversy as it displaced long-standing champ, Puerto Rico.

Here's how I know that Agricola is a fantastic game. Below are my most played games from Jan. 1, 2007 through today.

Poker 32
Agricola 31
Star Wars: Epic Duels 31
Dominion 20
Circus Flohcati 15
Race for the Galaxy 15
Category 5 10
Pandemic 10
Star Wars: Episode 1 - Clash of the Lightsabers 10
Ave Caesar 9

By the end of this weekend, Agricola will become my most played game of the past 20 months. And this is a game that takes 2-3 hours with a full slate of 5 players. And it's about farming.

If that doesn't demonstrate that I think it's a great game, I don't know what does.
