== Objective ==
Create the most productive orchard by forming groups of the same fruit (bananas, cherries, pears, and mangoes). Points are awarded only if the size of a fruit group exactly matches the value of an adjacent water drop. The player with the most points at the end wins.

== Card Reference ==
* '''Orchard Cards:''' Feature different fruits and water drops with numerical values.
* '''Starting Cards:''' Each player begins with a unique starting card in their orchard.
* '''Water Drops:''' The number inside the drop indicates exactly how many fruits of the same type must be in an adjacent group to score.

== Gameplay ==
The game is played over several rounds until the draw pile is empty. Each round consists of two phases:

# '''Drafting (Market):'''
#* Starting with the first player, each player chooses one card from the face-up market and takes it into their hand.
#* The market is replenished only after all players have chosen a card.
# '''Placement:'''
#* Each player places their chosen card into their own orchard.
#* '''Placement Rule:''' The new card must be placed adjacent (sharing at least one side) to a card already in the orchard. Cards can be placed horizontally or vertically.

== Scoring Rules ==
Points are awarded for connected groups of the same fruit if the following condition is met:
* A group of identical fruits must be adjacent to at least one water drop whose '''number exactly matches the count of fruits''' in that group.
* '''Risk:''' If a group is larger than the number in the adjacent water drop, it is "overwatered" and scores 0 points (unless another adjacent drop matches the size exactly).
* A single water drop can score multiple adjacent groups as long as each group matches the required size.

== Game End & Scoring ==
The game ends when all cards from the market have been taken and placed.
* '''Standard Scoring:''' Each fruit in a validly scored group counts as 1 point.
* '''Alternative Scoring:''' Each scored group counts for points equal to the value of the water drop (regardless of how many drops are adjacent to that group).
* The player with the most points wins. In case of a tie, the victory is shared.
