Outside there is now cold again and tatty. What one wishes as more than a few tropical fruits, sunshine and a little cottage by the sea. Since this is unfortunately a bit too expensive but has a different solution here! How about a board game? In "Finca" the players are fulfilling these needs. Everyone assumes the role of a fruit growers in Mallorca and tried as many of its tropical fruits to Expulsion on the island. This, however, it pays no stress, it goes pretty slowly ahead with a donkey cart.

In addition to the relatively small but beautifully illustrated game board six different fruit types of wood are included. Moreover, even wooden villas and a number plate for the wind turbine, the owner and the players themselves can be found.

Goal of the game is on the orders of the owner Malllorca to fulfill. For each order filled there, depending on the number and varieties of fruits required victory points. There is also the possibility of bonus tiles to earn extra points. The player with the most points wins the game.

Beginning of the game are first assembled all the fincas. This is placed in each region on the program a Finca bonus chips and a stack of four plates hidden order. Only the top plate is then turned over. Now the wind turbine's turn. The wings are shuffled face down and randomly distributed on the wheel. Now even the donkeys tiles are in the middle of the wind turbine. The number of platelets depends on the number of players. Finally, each player the figures (number of players is again dependent) and special plate is replaced in its color. But before it really starts, each player in turn is a figure in the wind and takes the fruit of the depicted on the windmill blade variety. Now you can start the game.

In his train each player now has three options:
• Reaping the benefits,
• Fruits supply or
• use special plates.

Reaping the benefits:
In order to reap the player must move in the wind. It is the condition that he always so many fields (Winradplättchen) clockwise must draw, as pieces are on the starting grid of the figure. After the movement, he must now reap many fruits, such pieces are on the target field. If not as many fruits in the stock, may reap as a player, all other players to return all of their fruits of this variety, then the active player must take its fruits. In addition, if the player is a donkey cart markers are taking, if he has exceeded the corresponding line that goes half way across the entire wind turbine. If it exceeds the line several times, he may take several carts. If the reservoir is empty, apply again the same rule as in the fruit.

Of fruits:
Decides to deliver a player, he can not move in the wind and he has to make a donkey cart. Now he must fulfill as many platelets contract with its fruits, such as the want. However, he may use a maximum of six fruit to it. The player shall deliver the appropriate fruit and take the plates themselves. Stack is an order blank, a wooden country house is set in the area and the Finca bonus tile is evaluated. On each of these plates are shown, one or more fruits. The player who has most of the fruits of his pending order chips, wins the bonus. Has made it a player to complete a series of instruction cards 1-6 fruits, he may take an additional bonus tiles.

Special tiles to use:
Each player has four special plates that offer them at the end of the game, two points if he does not use them. With these chips, he has the following options:
• double move,
• any movement in the wind (without donkey carts bonus)
• a donkey cart with a maximum of 10 fruits and
• reduction of an order for a fruit.

The game is now so long in turn, according to the number of players a certain number of wooden villas on the field stand. The winner is the player who in the sum of the special plates, order and the bonus tiles meisst points.

Finca impresses first with its excellent material. The fruits are carefully shaped and the plan looks like the next dream destination for the holidays. The mechanisms provide excitement. Each time the players put before the election, other fruits to gather for the most effective delivery of safe and conquest of a tile job that is missing for the series yet. The train and harvesting rules breathe new life into the familiar mechanism of the roundel and promotes the interaction between the players. One thing, however, should be considered. The luck factor in the game increases with the increasing number of players, because the change of the situation in the wind, as in the villas is immense at a higher number of players. For two people, the game allows much more tactical planning. All in all, however, is a country house with interesting above all very beautiful and fledged game mechanics.
