        Oooh, hey!! I have that game but haven’t played it yet. It looks freaking dope. Any suggestions? If I can’t convince my family to play I was just going to try it solo

        It’s the “revised edition” if that matters

          It’s a fantastic game. If you’re playing with less experienced gamers I would probably leave the occupation/improvement cards out at first.

          And seconding what Cile said. You show up to a gaming meetup with Agricola and I can pretty much guarantee someone is going to want to play. It’s a classic for a reason. Way easier to convince someone that already likes board games.

          1. organize a “games night” and see if people are interested: “Hey, on Friday night I’m inviting people over to play Agricola. Do you want to come?”
            Board Games, in particular Euros that take can take over 2 hours to play are not something that get pulled out on a whim during social gatherings.

          2. find a board game meetup near you (try meetup.com for example). It’s easier to turn board gamers into friends than friends into board gamers.

      Maybe he already has one cool nerd and is looking for a few more.
