Grove: A 9-Card Solitaire Game

From Side Room Games:

Grow your grove and harvest fruit by playing cards so that trees with the same fruit overleap.

Grove is the citrusy sequel to the award winning Orchard: The 9 card solitaire game.

Its 18 cards feature orange, lemon and lime trees and a new ‘wild card’ element, glades. These open spaces without trees, combined with a new scoring mechanic, offer more ways and opportunities to increase your harvest and create a greater variety of gameplay and strategies compared to Orchard. You’ll also find a cheeky squirrel, who can either help or hinder your fruit picking, as well as a wheelbarrow – useful if you manage to get an extra large haul.

The card backs feature recipe challenges with various scoring conditions and target scores. These provide a win/lose condition (as an alternative to the standard game’s ‘beat your score’) for those that prefer it – and add even more variety to the game.

Box contents:

• 18 Grove cards
• 15 custom Fruit dice (5 Orange, 5 Yellow, 5 Lime)
• 1 Squirrel token
• 1 Wheelbarrow token
• Rulebook

The box includes multiplayer rules as well (requires one copy of the game per player).

Ages: 14+
