Description
In English, the term "Crop Rotation" means Rotation of Cultures, which is nothing more than alternating planting of different crops to benefit the soil. In Crop Rotation, you'll grow beans, corn, and soybeans, and to win, you'll need to harvest more than your opponents.
For this you need to complete the random patterns of the goal cards and score. You have to be smart and not let your opponents harvest before you. Each turn random events can also help you, allowing you to switch position crops or even perform a burn to free up space on the board.
