Gameplay

At the start of the game, you are each given a board; this is your orchard.

The first player is whoever most recently consumed an apple or apple-based product.


At the start of each round, a set of 2 cards per player is placed into the communal hand.

On a player's turn, they must select a card and place it in any of their available batches.

At the start of each phase, rotate the player who picks first. The game ends after 6 rounds.


As with most games, the player with the most points at the end is the winner.

The deck appears to have one copy of each combination of colour (Green, Gold, Red), height (1-5), and sweetness (1-5). If someone knows for sure, they could update this…
