Description

In Applejack, a charming tile placement game designed by Uwe Rosenberg, you'll help Applejack and his daughter cultivate a thriving orchard. With a simple set of rules to learn, you can dive right into the fun, whether you're playing solo or with up to three friends. The goal is to strategically plant apple trees, harvest juicy apples, and set up beehives to produce the most honey. On each turn, you'll choose a tree tile from the harvest board, taking into account the combination of apple types, blossoms, and beehives, as well as the honey cost. As you place tiles in your orchard, you'll need to think carefully about how to arrange your apples and beehives to maximize your honey production. When the Applejack die lands on an apple icon, you'll harvest the corresponding apples and earn honey tokens, but only if you've arranged your orchard thoughtfully. After 19 turns, your orchard will be filled, and it's time for final scoring. With apples, blossoms, and honey all contributing to your score, the player with the highest total will win the game. With playtime ranging from 30 to 60 minutes, Applejack is a delightful and engaging experience that's perfect for a casual game night or a fun family activity, and its 2022 release brings a fresh twist to the world of farming games.
