Farmageddon
Start: 19/02/2011 10:00 am

Farmageddon will immerse you in the story of a simple agrarian community in heartland china. The weekend is centred around a purpose-built board game that'll have you growing crops, competing for local resources and trading with neighbouring villages in order to nourish a growing family. But that's only half the story...

Dicussions throughout the weekend challenge agricultural concepts and explore strategies to adapt to the changing world.
