Description

Parched is a unique and engaging board game where you'll compete to irrigate your farm, whether it's hops or coffee beans, in a race against your opponent. With simple rules that can be explained quickly, this game is easy to pick up and play, and its short playtime of 15 to 30 minutes makes it perfect for a quick gaming session. The game's mechanics are what make it really interesting, with action and event cards that allow you to change the board state and trick-taking card play that adds an element of strategy. As you play, you'll be building a network of irrigation channels to connect your farm to the water source, and the game's map deformation mechanic means that the board will change and evolve as you play. With its dual functionality as a game and a set of coasters, Parched is a game that's designed to be kept out and played often, and its wooden display case means it can live on your coffee table or bar top, ready to be played at a moment's notice. Whether you're playing solo or with a friend, Parched is a fun and challenging game that's sure to keep you entertained, and its themes of water management and farming add a unique twist to the traditional board game experience.
