About this game

Bing Tang Hu Lu is a traditional snack from China. It's a skewer of fruits (mainly little apples called Shan Zha), covered with caramelized sugar. In the game we play the role of beloved parents who try their best to prepare this tasty and delicious snack for their children. During each turn, players may choose to: Buy fruit, or Go to work With the first action players buy fruit tokens of five different types and compose the skewers on their personal board. When a skewer is completed, they obtain rewards depending on the skewer pattern and stars (victory points) at the end of the game. With the second action players obtain coins depending on their personal board situation. —description from the designer

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 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.
