Fields of Green takes place during the second half of the 20th century. Players take the role of farm owners trying to grow their property and business. By adding livestock, fields, and facilities, they build an economic engine that will bring them closer to victory.

Fields of Green, inspired by Among the Stars, is played over four rounds (years) during which players will draft cards and add them to their ever-expanding farms. At the end of each year comes the harvest season when they must water their fields, feed their livestock, and pay maintenance costs in order to receive valuable resources that will allow them to expand further in the next year.

Through various means, players eventually convert their wealth to victory points, and the player who gathers the most by the end of the fourth year wins the game.
