About this game

This game puts you in the shoes of fruits producers who are required to provide the most balanced possible productions. Early in the game, the producers have no cards in hand. In each round they have to choose between three possible actions: - Take one of the four cards face up on the table (replaced by a new card from the deck) - Draw a card face down from the deck, or - Discard a card from their hand in the compost pile (more commonly known as the discard pile). The goal is to form pairs of Fruits & Vehgetables cards of the highest possible values ​for each season throughout a round.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.2/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 6 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
