How Agricola Scoring Works

Agricola scores once, after the harvest at the end of round 14, and the pad is famously a wall of brackets. Seven categories each score somewhere between −1 and 4 depending on how many you have; four more are flat per-unit counts; the rest are the points on your cards. The important part is that the sheet punishes gaps: leave a category empty and it takes a point off you. Here's every row, with its bracket written out.

1Fields

0–1 = −1 · 2 = 1 · 3 = 2 · 4 = 3 · 5+ = 4

Count the field tiles ploughed on your farmyard — whether or not anything is growing in them at the end. Nought or one field is worth −1 point, two fields score 1, three score 2, four score 3, and five or more top the bracket at 4. The trap is that first bracket: ploughing a single field all game earns you exactly the same −1 as never touching a plough, so if you only ever plough once, plough twice.

2Pastures

0 = −1 · 1 = 1 · 2 = 2 · 3 = 3 · 4+ = 4

A pasture is an area of your farmyard fully enclosed by fences — not the fences themselves, and not the animals inside. No pastures at all costs you 1 point; one pasture scores 1, two score 2, three score 3, and four or more score the maximum 4. Because it's the number of separate enclosures that counts and not their size, four small pastures beat one enormous one on this row (though the big one may hold more animals for the rows below).

3Grain

0 = −1 · 1–3 = 1 · 4–5 = 2 · 6–7 = 3 · 8+ = 4

Add every grain you own: the grain still standing in your fields plus any loose grain in your personal supply. Zero grain is −1 point, 1–3 grain scores 1, 4–5 scores 2, 6–7 scores 3, and 8 or more scores 4. Grain you baked into food during the game is gone and doesn't count, which is why a farm that fed itself entirely on bread often lands in the bottom bracket.

4Vegetables

0 = −1 · 1 = 1 · 2 = 2 · 3 = 3 · 4+ = 4

Same rule as grain, but the brackets are far tighter: count the vegetables in your fields plus any in your supply. None is −1, one vegetable is 1 point, two is 2, three is 3, and four or more is 4. A single vegetable swings you two points against a player who skipped them entirely, which is why so much of Agricola's late game comes down to one desperate trip to the Vegetable Seeds space.

5Sheep

0 = −1 · 1–3 = 1 · 4–5 = 2 · 6–7 = 3 · 8+ = 4

Count the sheep on your farm at game end, wherever they're legally housed — in pastures, in stables, and the one you're allowed to keep in your house. No sheep costs you a point; 1–3 sheep scores 1, 4–5 scores 2, 6–7 scores 3, and 8 or more scores 4. Animals eaten or sold during the game don't count; only what's standing on the farm at the finish does.

6Wild Boar

0 = −1 · 1–2 = 1 · 3–4 = 2 · 5–6 = 3 · 7+ = 4

Boar climb faster than sheep: none is −1, 1–2 boar scores 1, 3–4 scores 2, 5–6 scores 3, and 7 or more scores the full 4. That means a modest pen of boar is worth more per animal than the same number of sheep — and it also means a farm with a single boar has already turned a −1 into a +1 for the price of one animal.

7Cattle

0 = −1 · 1 = 1 · 2–3 = 2 · 4–5 = 3 · 6+ = 4

Cattle have the steepest brackets of the three animals: none is −1, a single cow is already worth 1 point, 2–3 cattle score 2, 4–5 score 3, and 6 or more score 4. Six cattle is a genuinely large herd, so most farms cap out around 2 or 3 points here — but grabbing one cow late is the cheapest two-point swing on the whole pad.

8Unused Spaces

−1 per empty space — enter as a negative

Your farmyard is a 3×5 grid of 15 spaces. At the end, look at every space that holds nothing at all — no room, no field, no pasture, no stable — and lose 1 point for each. Fenced-but-empty pasture spaces are used, so they cost you nothing. This is the row people forget when they add up in their heads, and on a sparse farm it can quietly erase four or five points. Enter it as a negative number here.

9Fenced Stables

1 pt per stable inside a pasture — enter the count

Each stable that sits inside a fenced pasture is worth 1 point, up to the four stables you own. Stables built on open, unfenced ground score nothing on this row — they still hold animals and still keep a farmyard space from counting as unused, but the point only arrives once fences go around them. Enter how many of your stables ended up inside pastures.

10Clay Rooms

1 pt each — enter the number of clay rooms

Once you renovate your wooden hut to clay, every room in your house is worth 1 point. Count the rooms, not the renovation: a three-room clay house scores 3. Wooden rooms are worth nothing at all, so a big wooden house does plenty of work holding family members without adding a single point of its own here.

11Stone Rooms

2 pts each — enter the number of stone rooms

Renovate again, from clay to stone, and each room doubles to 2 points. A five-room stone house is 10 points on this row alone — one of the biggest single blocks on the pad — which is why the second renovation is such a common late-game push. Your house is either clay or stone, never both, so fill in one of these two rows and leave the other blank.

12Family Members

3 pts each — enter the number of people

Every family member on your farm is worth 3 points, and you start with two, so this row is never lower than 6. Grow to five people and it's 15 — usually the largest number anywhere on the sheet, and the reason growing the family early is the standard opening advice. Each new person also needs feeding at every harvest, which is exactly how farms end up with begging cards.

13Points for Cards

Points printed on your cards (begging = −3)

Add the victory points printed on the Occupation and Minor/Major Improvement cards you played in front of you. Plenty of cards are worth nothing here and earn their keep in actions and resources instead, so only count the ones showing a printed value. Begging cards go in this row too, as negatives: each one you were handed for failing to feed your family is −3 points, so a farm that begged twice starts this row at −6.

14Bonus Points

Bonus points from card conditions

Some cards don't have a flat printed value — they pay out at the end based on what your farm actually looks like, per animal, per field, per room, or for meeting a condition. Resolve each of those against your finished farm and total them here, separately from the flat printed values above. Read them one card at a time: they're the most commonly missed points in the game because they reference things you've already stopped looking at.

The Negatives Are the Whole Game

New players read Agricola's pad as a list of things to collect, and it isn't — it's a list of things you get punished for skipping. Each of the seven bracketed rows hands you −1 for owning none of that category, so a farm that never got around to vegetables, boar and cattle is three points down before a single positive is counted, and a farm that neglected all seven is at −7. Add −1 for every empty space still showing on your 3×5 farmyard, and −3 for every begging card you took for failing to feed the family, and it's entirely possible to build a busy-looking farm that finishes in the teens. One of everything, and nothing left blank, beats a specialist almost every time.

Looking for an Agricola Score Sheet?

Agricola comes with a score pad in the box — this is the same pad with the math already done and the brackets remembered. Every row is here, each one showing its bracket underneath so nobody has to squint at the tiny print and argue about whether six sheep is 2 points or 3, and the totals handle the minus signs for you. It forgets everything when you close the tab, though. For a score sheet that remembers — every game, every player, every win — Agricola is one of 300+ games in the free Meeply app.

Expansions and Editions

Farmers of the Moor, the big expansion, adds horses as a fourth animal with their own scoring row, plus fuel to keep the family warm and the forest and moor tiles that cover part of your farmyard — so its pad extends the sheet rather than replacing it. The 2016 revised edition reworked and consolidated the card decks that come in the box, but it scores exactly the same 14 categories, so every row and bracket above applies to either printing.

Agricola Scoring Questions

How do you score Agricola?
Agricola scores once, after the final harvest, across 14 categories. Seven of them are bracketed — fields, pastures, grain, vegetables, sheep, wild boar, and cattle each score between −1 and 4 depending on how many you have. Then you lose 1 point per empty farmyard space, and gain 1 point per stable inside a pasture, 1 per clay room, 2 per stone room, 3 per family member, plus the points printed on your cards and any bonus points their conditions award. Highest total wins.
Why am I losing points in Agricola?
Three places. Each of the seven bracketed categories gives −1 if you have none of that thing (or only one field), so a farm that ignored, say, vegetables and boar and cattle is already −3 before anything else — neglect all seven and you're at −7. Every empty space left on your 3×5 farmyard is another −1. And every begging card you took for failing to feed your family is −3. Agricola is a game about breadth, and the scorepad punishes gaps rather than rewarding specialisation.
How do animals score in Agricola?
Each animal type has its own bracket and they are not the same. Sheep: 0 = −1, 1–3 = 1, 4–5 = 2, 6–7 = 3, 8+ = 4. Wild boar: 0 = −1, 1–2 = 1, 3–4 = 2, 5–6 = 3, 7+ = 4. Cattle: 0 = −1, 1 = 1, 2–3 = 2, 4–5 = 3, 6+ = 4. Cattle are the steepest, so a single cow is worth a full point while a single sheep sits in the same bracket as three. Only animals still on your farm at the end count.
What are begging cards worth in Agricola?
Each begging card is −3 points. You take one for every food you were short at a harvest, and there is no way to get rid of them — they simply sit there until scoring. Two missed food at a single harvest is −6, which is more than most players earn from their entire animal collection, so feeding the family is the one thing you never gamble on. Count them into the card points row as a negative.
How many points is a room worth in Agricola?
It depends on what your house is made of. Wooden rooms are worth nothing. Clay rooms are worth 1 point each, and stone rooms are worth 2 points each. Your whole house is one material at a time, so a five-room stone house scores 10 and a five-room wooden house scores 0 — renovating is worth points on its own, before you count the family members those rooms let you keep.
Do occupations and improvements score points in Agricola?
Many do, but not all. Occupations, Minor Improvements, and Major Improvements each show a victory point value if they have one; plenty are blank and pay you in actions or resources during the game instead. Add the printed values, then handle separately the cards whose points depend on your final farm — those go in the bonus points row so you don't miss them.
What is a good Agricola score?
In a full classic game, a winning score usually lands in the low-to-mid 40s. Anything past 50 is a strong game and normally means a stone house, five family members, and no −1 brackets anywhere on the sheet. Beginners often finish in the 20s, mostly because of the negatives: filling the empty farmyard spaces and getting one of everything is worth more than mastering any single category.
Does the Agricola scorepad change with expansions?
The base 14 categories stay put. Farmers of the Moor adds horses as a fourth animal with their own scoring row, along with fuel and the forest and moor tiles that sit on your farmyard, so its pad has extra lines rather than different ones. The 2016 revised edition reorganised which cards come in the box but scores exactly the same way — if you're using the calculator above with a revised copy, every row still applies.
Is there an Agricola score sheet I can use online?
This page is one — a free digital Agricola score sheet with all 14 rows, every bracket printed under its row, and the totals added for you including the negatives. It forgets everything when you close the tab, though. For a score sheet that remembers, Agricola is one of 300+ games with rules-aware scoresheets in the free Meeply app.
Does Meeply support Agricola?
