If you find it boring now I'm afraid you'll be stuck with the same tedious gameplay for the entire game. Later on you milk cows, collect eggs from chickens, and eventually court a girls, get married with one and have kids. The core gameplay is wake up, do your chores, sell your produce, and use the money to expand. The winter got a little boring for me since you don't do much of anything. The game automaticly ends at a certian point and depending on how well you did you get diffrent endings.
I got this for the VC about a year ago and got pretty far but haven't picked it back up for some time now.
