How to play Barnanza on Mac

Game summary

Design, create and customize your farm, fill it with adorable animals, crazy machines and discover the delights of Barnanza. Personalize your game by naming each of your animals and giving them a distinctive look. Be sure to visit the petting patch for rewarding close-up cuddles. You will be busy in all 4 seasons as you grow your farm carrying eggs, shearing sheep, milking cows, shaking fruit from trees and packing it, building fences and roads, planting crops all while planning for your new arrivals. Keep foxes away with your trusty dog & even protect your cows from alien abductions with your air force! Three difficulty levels allow everyone in the family to enjoy the farming lifestyle and no two farms are ever the same. Whether you go for the laid-back, organic style of farming, or the high-paced, high-tech wizardry of a fully automated farm, you’ll always find the right style for you.

Play Barnanza on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Barnanza on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.

Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.

Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).

Barnanza installation steps for Mac

Step 1
Go to Parallels.com and download the latest version of the software.
Step 2
Follow the installation process and make sure you allow Parallels in your Mac’s security preferences (it will prompt you to do so).
Step 3
When prompted, download and install Windows 10. The download is around 5.7GB. Make sure you give it all the permissions that it asks for.
Step 4
Once Windows is done installing, you are ready to go. All that’s left to do is install Barnanza like you would on any PC.
