I consider myself a person with a strong imagination, yet I can't help but love the tactile joy of having these pretty game pieces. Replacing the standard Agricola cubes with these well designed vegeemeeples just makes the game that much more fun. Having a pasture full of cute sheep and cattle is more fun to play with and look at then white cubes and brown cubes. The same can be said for he vegetables.
If I had one complaint, it would be that I think the fish, bread and meat pieces are a bit overboard. The game board gets pretty crowded and complicated if you use them, therefore we have been leaving those out and sticking with the simple food tokens. If you have plenty of space at your table and and like to use them, then by all means, enjoy.
In short, these are well made and look great and really help to bring more of a farm feel to Agricola.
