🐸 HOW TO PLAY
America in the 1950s
In Milkman, you're a local dairy farmer experiencing a population boom: families want fresh, wholesome milk that's always available. Your job is to manage the farm, keep the cows happy, and convince customers that your milk is the best in town.
Dice and strategic choices
Each round, all players roll custom dice representing available actions: raising cows, producing milk, expanding the farm, or attracting customers. You can reroll some dice to find better combinations or risk everything, while the active player has more dice, but with stricter constraints.
Farm Management
Expanding your pastures means more flexibility and higher production, while careful use of money allows you to manipulate results and optimize your actions. The farm is the heart of the game, and knowing how to develop it at the right time can make all the difference.
The race for customers
Every customer has different tastes and requests: whole, skim, or chocolate milk. Satisfying them before your competitors earns you points, prestige, and a reputation that strengthens your market position.
The taste of victory
The game moves quickly, with constant choices between risk and safety. The winner will be the one who builds the most efficient farm and delivers the most fresh milk to customers, becoming the most famous milkman in town.
