GRANDPA’S FARM

Grandpas Farmis a letter-writing roleplaying game inspired by slow-life video games likeHarvest Moon,Animal Crossing, andStardew Valley. InGrandpas Farm, youve inherited a long-neglected farmstead and are about to spend the next four years of your life getting it up and running again.

Each turn, youll draw from a deck of playing cards and interpret card values to determine the progress made on your farm over the course of a single season. With that progress in mind, youll then chronicle your revitalization efforts by writing a letter to a loved one. Optional mechanics are also included that allow you to alter your deck by trading or competing at local festivals. Removing cards will make certain kinds of progress more likely, and festivals can be roleplayed alone or with fellow players.

To play Grandpas Farm, youll need:

• One or more players
• One standard deck of playing cards per player
• Writing materials (paper and writing utensils)
• A simple calculator (optional)
• If playing alone, a second deck of cards for solo festival mechanics (optional)
