Dear Rachel,

Today I won my first game of 3-person Agricola. I know that means nothing to you, and probably to just about anyone reading this, but it's a pretty big triumph for me. I think I had won a single game of Agricola in my life playing against one of my roommates, but yesterday I beat both of them.

Agricola is a game in which you play the role of a family that has to do things like plow and sew fields, build fences, accumulate livestock and eat every day. There is a lot to keep track of, and usually I have found it to be too much to think about. I end up losing points at the end of the game for not having enough sheep or something like that. But not today. Today I had enough sheep, and cattle, and boar. I used my farm to its maximum potential.

I hope you're using your farm to its maximum potential.

Sincerely,

Nick Punto
