Seeds of Debt

The Reluctant Farmer

A cosy, comic farming game set in the world of Sarthavaha. You inherit a tumbledown farm outside a market town, along with a debt to a merchant-banker who would very much like his money back.

What’s in it

  • Grow crops and sell them at your roadside stall, the village haat, to regular buyers and to passing caravans.
  • Set your own prices against demand that changes from day to day.
  • A grumpy naga lives in the well, a yaksha sleeps under the banyan, and the scarecrow has opinions.
  • Village events most mornings: rival stalls, a travelling astrologer, a garland contest and a cousin called Tinku.
  • Sounds made for the game: coins, harvests, the haat's dhol and the evening bell.
