Bondespelet

Published 1953

Swedish classic roll-and-move game about farmers and farming. You win by being the first farmer who buys the castle. The game features a roll-and-move style of movement around the board, success relying on having your marker stopping on the good spaces so you get crop markers that you can sell later on. Farms and forests are bought and sold by the money you earn from the events and crops. Though being an absolute classic in Sweden, and one of the flagships for the game publisher Alga, very little is known of this game's origin. It has seen at least four graphically major remakes since the first version. It's rumoured to be as old as the 40s, at least we know that the game existed in 1953. The now defunct publisher "AB Grafisk Konst" seems to be the first publisher, followed by Aristospel, and then Alga (currently owned by Brio). See the information tab on the various versions for details about them.
