Cazamanzanas

About this board game

Cazamanzanas is a family game for 2–4 players that takes about 25 minutes. During the autumnal equinox, pairs of elves compete to bring the most apples back to the village before nightfall.

Each player builds a way through the forest using cards. Ramps, platforms, duplicators, and a magical portal shape the route, while the apples eventually fall into the elves’ baskets. The challenge is to prepare your path before the right moment arrives.

Play a card, draw a card keeps the turn structure simple and accessible. Every card has a “maduration cost,” and as this track reaches its end, all the apples fall. The players with the most apples are the winners, becoming the couple of the year.
