The Farming Game 3D Pieces

pinshape

One of my daughter's favorite games is the Farming Game, a game that teaches you what it's really like to run your own farm. It was created by a farmer from Eastern Washington who developed the idea while driving his tractor. The pieces for this game are all little flat vinyl cling stickers, but they only stick well for about one or two uses. That just isn't any fun at all. To make things more interesting for my daughter and to give her a surprise for her birthday, I designed 3D pieces for all the parts that came with the game. The Tractor, Harvester, Hay, Grain, and Fruit coins were all my own design using 123D Design. The cow model came from a website where people share their creations, and it was resized to fit perfectly on the game board. Tractors and Harvesters: These are meant to represent one tractor or harvester each, making them easy to understand for kids who love farming. Hay and Grain coins: These represent 10 acres of each crop. On the bottom side of the coin is "x2" because there are places on the board where your harvest will be doubled for a year. You can flip over the top coin in a stack to show that. Fruit coins: These represent 5 acres of fruit orchards and have an apple on both sides, so you know exactly what they mean.
