Setup for the first round

The game is played by 2–4 players.

Draw one Enclosure card and two different Support cards and reveal them (see Endgame Missions). Do not use the planted hay Support card in a 2 player game.

Fill the assets bag with the asset tokens for the player count (see The Assets Bag).

Each player gets one farm board, used to keep score and to place asset tokens on for endgame scoring.

Each player also receives one box of enclosure fences, 2 cubes to place on the score track of the farm board, and one turn order token, all in the player color.

Place the enclosure board in the middle of the playing area. Each player has a starting cell on the enclosure board, marked in the player color.

Place the round dice board and the assets board on either side of the enclosure board.

Place all fertilizer tokens near the round dice board.

Draw asset tokens from the bag and place them on the assets board, filling from left to right and top to bottom.

Then the players decide the start order: each player rolls a die. The lowest value goes first and the others follow from low to high. Players with the same value re-roll among themselves to settle their order.
