Goal of the game

The goal of the game is to seed, grow and harvest the best tomatoes from your tomato vines while trying to prevent other gardeners from doing the same. You accomplish this by seeding (placing a die on one of your open tomato tokens) your vines with the best/highest-scoring dice you rolled and giving the low-scoring dice to your opponents.

Setup

Each player receives:

 11 red dice
 2 black dice
 3 tomato tokens
 1 karma heart
 1 karma track
 1 score track

All players roll a single die to determine the first (and last) player. The player with the lowest die value will the last player and receives the last player marker - ketchup splatter. The next player in the order of play (usually to the left) becomes the first player.

All dice are transferred to the Bushel.

Each player places the karma heart on karma track in position 3.

The first player starts the game.

Gameplay

Active player picks 3 dice from the bushell and rolls them. All rolled dice need to be distributed - either placed on an empty tomato as a seed or add to an existing seed/vine.

Collecting points

When a tomato vine has 4 dice it can be harvested - the owner of the vine transfers the dice from the tomato space of the vine onto their next available score spot.
