Juices

About this board game

Juices is a hand-management, drafting, and pattern-building game for 2–10 players that plays in about 20 minutes. Take on the role of a Juice Master and try to make combinations that bring happiness and earn the highest amount on your juices.

Players use fruits from their hands to create juices, combining them with complements to make each one as strong as possible. Every player builds their own puzzle, arranging their choices to maximize the points earned from each juice.

The draft creates a constant balance between improving your own options and limiting another player’s opportunities. You always give your card to the player on your right, so a generous pass may help them create an excellent juice—and give them a chance to punish you.

• Hand management: Choose carefully from the cards available to you.
• Drafting: Pass a card to the player on your right while selecting what you need.
• Pattern building: Create your own puzzle of fruits and complements.
• Interactive decisions: Decide whether to take a weaker card for yourself or prevent another player from getting a powerful one.

That tension makes every choice meaningful. Will you pass a good card because you need the one you can take, or choose a lesser option simply to stop your neighbor from making a great juice?

With its compact play time and room for up to ten players, Juices offers a focused contest of planning, drafting, and tactical denial in every game.
