This is another great game by Rio Grande. Pieces are durable and come in nice compartments.

The premise of the game is you are developing a hacienda--acquiring land, water, farm animals and money.
Object of the game is get points through one of several ways: access to markets, chains of land tiles, placement of haciendas, access to water or money. You can only take 3 actions every turn in order to this so strategy becomes key. This may consists of buying OR playing land and animal tiles, buying water or a hacienda, or using a specialty wheat token to get money.

I normally play this as a 2 player game and it works out great; you can decide either to have your "own space" or really be mean a keep cutting off their tile placement. In a 4 person game there is a bit more competition for space and resources.
