Well, you all asked for it, so here it is!


While I typically don't put out videos so quickly after each other, I know the start of my semester will be rough, so if I don't do it now, it wouldn't happen for a while.

You can download or watch it at

or watch it here through Vimeo:

I still can't stand the "real pronunciation" of this game.

Agri as in agriculture, Cola as in a beverage. Simple as that.

Hi Scott,

I really like your videos. They do a good job at teaching people how to play and give people an accurate idea about what to expect when buying/playing the game. I've purchased a number of games based on your videos.

I was wondering if you think your opinion of this game will change after a few months? Do you think the popularity of the game is due to its relative newness?

Thanks, and keep up the good work!

I've had the game since last November and I pasted up all the cards. I still enjoy playing it. That said, I still enjoy playing Puerto Rico, although I don't use the "accepted strategies." So, for me, it's not a new game.

The reason why I like both games is that I can try different things each play and see how it comes up. I last player Puerto Rico about a month ago, and did something I'd never tried before, and enjoyed it..

Thanks Scott great video as always. I was on the Agricola hate bandwagon till I heard your audio review on "On Board Games" podcast ep13 - It helped change my outlook on the game and I became on of the many BGG'ers looking forward to the Z-man release.

I also enjoyed the structure to how you taught the game on the video. I'm going to use the same outline when I teach others.

Now excuse me as I go have a drink of some Agra-Cola :D

That was very helpful. Scanning the rules it seemed confusing to me...now it doesn't. :)
