Rancho

The board game Rancho is the younger sister of the well known and acclaimed game Superfarmer. The game Superfarmer appeared in Warsaw in 1943. At this time it was titled The Little Animal Farm. It was invented by the eminent Polish mathematician and professor at Warsaw University, Karol Borsuk. After the Nazi occupation of Warsaw, the university was closed and the professor lost his job. He came up with the idea to sell the game to financially support his family.
In occupied Warsaw, The Little Animal Farm became extremely popular. After the war, the game was forgotten and it reappeared on store shelves only in the 1990's through our publishing house.
Rancho, designed by Michael Stajszczak, was made to honor the memory of Karol Borsuk and to commemorate the success of The Little Animal Farm. During its 15 years in Poland and many other countries of the world, the game Superfarmer gained legions of fans. Many children and adults around the world have assumed the role of superfarmers. We are proud that to date over half a million of the game have been sold. Rancho expands the possibilities which Karol Borsuk's original game presented to players. Now farmers must not only exchange their animals well and breed them, but also plan purchases of pastures on which to graze their herds.
We hope that this new version of the classic animal breeding game will bring you as much enjoyment as its famous predecessor.

Goal of the game:
You breed animals in order to have the best ranch in the region. You buy pastures so your animals will have a place to live. Your animals breed and this brings you profit. You can convert animals to other types of animals, if you decide it's worth it, or you can buy more pastures to have space for more animals. To win, you must be the first to collect a herd consisting of at least a horse, a cow, a sheep and a rabbit. But all your plans can go awry if you are not careful, because in the nearby forest there are prowling predators - a wolf and a fox. Your animals can easily become their prey.
