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…

Two players

The game consists of 4 rounds of 6 cards

The Batches

Monochrome Batch

All apples must be the same colour, as indicated by the card.

Apples of a Feather

The second card must match the 1st card's Sweetness or Height. Any additional cards must then follow this rule. If a pair of cards have the same Sweetness and Height, you may continue with either attribute based on your next card. E.g. if the first card is Sweetness 3, Height 2, the player can then place either a Sweetness 3 or Height 2 card, but once they place a Sweetness 3, they must continue to do so exclusively.

Scoring is n(n-1), where n is the number of cards: 0, 2, 6, 12, 20, 30, 42, 56, 72, 90, 110, 132

Unlucky batch

Sweetness must add to 13 and the sweetness of the cards must be within 1 of each other!
