Crops

About this board game

Crops is a strategic farming game for 2–4 players, with plays lasting about 40 minutes, in which you cultivate a field and pursue the most rewarding harvest.

Over the course of 12 turns, each player must add a Crop Card to their own Field. You may also optionally place a Goal Card at the top or bottom of one of your field’s columns, giving you opportunities to shape your scoring plans as your farm develops.

Careful selection and placement are essential. By the end of the twelfth turn, your Field must contain exactly 3 columns, with 4 Crop Cards in each column, and up to 6 Goal Cards. Once every player has completed their Field, the harvest begins and final scores are calculated.

• Choose crops and goals to create valuable combinations.
• Build a field measuring 3 columns by 4 Crop Cards.
• Use Crop Family Symbols to support your scoring strategy.
• Consider how the four Moon Phases influence your field’s yield.

Victory Points come from four sources: the Dominant Moon Phase in your Field, Crop Family Symbols, Upper Goal Cards, and Lower Goal Cards. The Moon Phases play a crucial role in determining your final score, so the phase that shapes your strategy can make a significant difference to your harvest.

With its combination of field building, goal selection, symbolic combinations, and changing lunar influence, Crops challenges you to plan wisely across every turn. Maximize your opportunities and strive to become the greatest farmer.
