Finca: fruit harvesting and rondel strategy board game. DEVIR

Product contents Finca Board Game

Finca is an acclaimed and colorful family strategy eurogame designed by Ralf zur Linde and Wolfgang Sentker, published by Devir. The game transports players to the sunny island of Mallorca during the traditional agricultural harvest era. Players take on the role of farmers competing to harvest and distribute the island's most valuable fruits—such as figs, almonds, olives, oranges, lemons, and grapes—to satisfy the demanding orders of local fincas and communities.

Nominated for the prestigious Spiel des Jahres award, the game stands out for its accessible design, high indirect player interaction, and the mechanical ingenuity of its harvesting windmill rondel.

How to play Finca

The core gameplay revolves around moving farmer pawns along the blades of a large windmill that acts as a rondel mechanism. On their turn, a player moves one of their farmer pawns forward a number of spaces equal to the total number of farmers (belonging to any player) present on its starting blade.

The space where the farmer lands dictates the type of fruit harvested, while the total quantity of fruit collected depends directly on the number of farmers standing together on that windmill blade. After harvesting, players can use their donkey carts to deliver fruit orders to various regions across Mallorca, fulfilling demand tiles and claiming valuable victory points.

Delivery management, bonuses, and tactical competition

Fulfilling finca orders requires precise planning of windmill movements to collect the exact combination of fruits before opponents do. As regions run out of demands, valuable bonus tiles are awarded for island territorial control and for collecting sets of diverse fruit varieties.

The game delivers a constant tactical race to optimize donkey cart usage, capitalize on opposing farmer positions on the rondel, and secure the highest scoring combos before the harvest comes to an end.
