Crop Circles (2022)

About this game

Strange circles have begun to appear in different corn crops... Is the first evidence of extraterrestrial life? Or is it a reinvention of the agricultural business corporation to attract tourists to their decaying farmlands? In this Roll & Write game, each player rolls two dice and places both numbers in their chosen fields on their crop circles, trying to make the best possible combinations. Every crop circle has 7 fields, and with the numbers inside you can score every Crop Circle in different ways: forming a stair, with different numbers, with the same numbers or with neighbors numbers. At the end of the game you will score with your 8 different crop circles and the different bonus than you can take advantage of. Whoever has the bigger score will win the game. Can you have the most attractive Crop Circles for the invasion of tourists?

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 12. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 2.0/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
