SharedCropping

SharedCropping offers a set of choices to players for how to use the land – planting, growing, harvesting, and livestock grazing – along with choices to build their own enterprises – taking loans, buying equipment – but offers no other rules inside the game. Players can harvest crops they didn’t grow, and can also gift resources to other players. Any spatial problem where there is interest in letting players make decisions at the patch as well as at the farm level, and where interactions could be shaped by institutions outside of the game code, could be great fits for farmSquares. This is an interpreter that we have put less effort so far into making usable and shareable, but welcome the case and the opportunity.
