If you have forgotten something essential for tonight's dinner, there is always the local grocery market. Here you can buy salt, onion, flour, milk, and other necessities of life.
Also, if some friends drop by for an evening chat, you can always send a kid get a few kola nuts. Kola nuts have this magic thing about getting everybody worked up and the conversation going. Real cool for an evening debate about man, the stars and the spirits.ts.............

You are facing a lot of risk. You must reduce your exposure to it by accumulating assets, especially in the form of livestock, and by making sure you can count on your kids and friends when times are hard. Do not keep idle cash.
Unless you have plenty of manpower and fertilizer, stay away from high risk crops, particularly on your large fields.
Do not overwork yourself, but do not remain unnecessarily idle either. To eat, you've got to work.
Marry only if you can take care of additional dependents, but make sure you do not remain without progeny.

The wedding party you organized was a wonderful success. All your friends and relative showed up and are grateful to you for this opportunity to meet again and have fun together.
I am flattered.
The wedding party you organized was cheap and a complete flop! Friends and relatives think of you as a failure.
Who cares!
Your son is very grateful that you could organize his wedding. He told you that you can count on him for help and support in bad times and old age.
Sure, son!
Since you could not come up with the cattle, the wedding is off. You son left you in anger (after his mother gave him all the cash in the house), saying he would rather work in town and get dowry money on his own.
Get lost!

Taking care of your livestock is time consuming. Currently you and your family are spending the equivalent of
workdays on livestock. What is left for crop cultivation and rest amounts to
days. If you feel that more manpower is needed for crop work, you may visit the market and sell animals now.
Currently you have no livestock to worry about. All together, the total time that your household and yourself can devote to crop cultivation and rest is
days.

lessons
Success and survival are not easier in low tech societies than in high tech societies. If anything they are harder. To survive as a farmer on the great African plains you've got to use your brain, you've got to learn from your mistakes, and you've got to listen to what people say -- in this case, read carefully the information section.
The decisions by many Africans to have lots of kids or to stick to 'traditional' crops may not be in society's interest. But they often are optimal from an individual point of view. Understanding the conflict between individual incentives and aggregate welfare is the first step toward successful policy design and implementation.
Lessonsame begins...e game. You have plenty of time. You can also save your game and come back to it later.
The game is designed to let you experience the possible consequences of decisions African farmers has to make. So, don't hesitate to experiment.
Good luck!

"African Farmer" is a game-like simulation. Its purpose is to show you the kind of environment a typical African farmer lives in. It should be both entertaining and educational.
You have to make a variety of decisions that resemble those that a typical African farmer has to make. Your objective is to survive and, possibly, prosper. Surviving is not as easy as you might think at first. The strategies you adopt to deal with risk largely determine your success in the game.
If you are familiar with Windows or the Mac, moving around in the program should be fairly self-explanatory: All you have to do is click. So, click along! And good luck: you will need it..eed it.g!

You are a responsible father and you have arranged a good marriage for her. As a gesture of friendship and to seal the marriage deal, you have received three heads of cattle from the groom's family. You may have to sell these animals to meet the wedding expenses, however. Indeed, you are expected to throw a big party that costs 2000 Nairas and requires 500 Kg of grain for food and home-brewed beer. Visit the market now and make sure that you have enough money and grain for the party.
