I love Stardew Valley so I'm obviously biased, but for me this game is great. Although many things are different than in the digital game, the vibes are the same. And there are many ways to customize your experience. Some of them are described in the manual, some of them you can experiment with. It's partially strategy, partially luck - in our first game we had grandpa's fishing goal, but couldn't catch any fish, because most fish were either crabpot or trash and if there was a "good" fish to catch, dice were against us. It helped a lot to watch a gameplay on Youtube first.
