Homesteaders – Build your home on the range

It takes a lot to get your homestead started in the Old West.

Well, at least we think it must have.

And it’s great to see the kids start to get a glimpse into what it would have taken to start your homestead and get it growing way back when.

While this board game video review may be one of our longer ones, it’s easy to tell what the boys really thought of it.

Note of clarification: As everyone needs a place to call home, each player actually starts with their Homestead – rather than needing to buy it at the auction.

Many facets keep you engaged
Deciding what you want to construct, how much you’re willing to pay, how to allocate your workers, when you should trade at the market place and when you should pass – Homesteaders is definitely a game to keep you engaged in the many facets of building in the Old West. And it keeps you thinking from beginning to end.

Is Homesteaders a good board game for the whole family?
While it’s a good board game to play with the family, it isn’t for everyone in the family. Once the kids start to get a grip on resource management, they can give Homesteaders a try. And yes, the littler kids do think the cows are cute.
