[hide]Brief
FarmVille puts players in the role of a farmer building their farm from a small property into a large plantation. It plays as a sim game rather than something competitive, and contains gameplay mechanics lightly integrated with the social networking of Facebook. [1][2]

Gameplay
Players start the game with the smallest farm size available and attempt to acquire wealth and experience. Land can be plowed, seeds planted in plowed land where they will grow in real time, and fully grown crops harvested for coin. All of these actions generate experience which unlocks new construction options for the player.
A variety of other actions are available to the player, including many which are purely aesthetic in nature.
