You're right about all the pictures on BGG being pimped. When I got the game, my kids saw it and said, "where are the farmer pieces?" I told them to get out the clay and start making them.

Same thing with every game that has miniatures...

It's really hard to find the picture of the actual game insert for Battlelore...

This is my favorite pimped-out set of Agricola.

...oh, these are the components in the box?

What? You don't have wooden animeeples?

Maybe there could be an official "tag" to pictures, one that shows whether pictures are of actual game content or modified/custom content.

Every now and again, I need to search for actual pictures of the game components.

For all the animeeple fans out there, check out this geeklist:

When they're uploaded, they're uploaded as game, people, or custom. In the gallery, choose the game link, and you should get just what's in the box.

So true... You have no idea how much pain I had to go through to get some pics of the game for my review.

I just tried that and it still shows pictures with animeeples. Are the animeeples something you can order extra with agricola, like a super version of agricola? Or are people buying them completely separately through a different company?

As far as I know, you have to buy them separately. Still they are made for Agricola.

Some copies came with animeeples: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/334548

Maybe you're talking about games like Ys, which showed glass gems in the picture on the box but came with wooden cubes inside the same box.

Nice pic.

As mentioned, sadly even with the 'game' setting on the gallery, it can be hard to find fully original game pictures.

I really thought Agricola came with animal figures, glad I didn't order it expecting these!

In my game group, a scoring of that farm would definitely win!

My set looks exactly like that.

You can find them from Lookout Games at:

There is also a Wooden Farm Animal Set that can be found here:
