Description

Help Applejack and his daughter plant apple trees, harvest the juiciest apples, and set up beehives for the sweetest honey! On each turn, pick a tree tile from the harvest board at the table's center. These tiles feature a mix of apple types, apple blossoms, and beehives, with the beehives indicating the honey cost. Place the tile in your orchard. To get honey tiles, place beehives next to others on existing tiles. When the Applejack die on the harvest board hits an apple icon, harvest that apple type and earn honey tokens, but only if your apples are well - arranged. After 19 turns, your orchard fills up, and it's time for the final scoring. Score your apples, apple blossoms, and collected honey. The highest scorer wins! Suitable for 1 - 4 players, takes 30 - 60 minutes, and is for ages 8 and up. It features tile placement and has a farming theme.
To play Applejack, start by setting up the harvest board in the middle of the table. Each player gets an area to represent their orchard. On your turn, choose a tree tile from the harvest board. Remember, the beehives on the tile show how much honey you need to pay to get it. Place the tile in your orchard and make sure to place beehives next to other beehives on existing tiles to get honey tiles. Keep an eye on the Applejack die on the harvest board. When it lands on an apple icon, harvest that type of apple to gain honey tokens, but arrange your apples smartly. After 19 turns, the game ends, and you'll score your apples, apple blossoms, and honey. As for maintenance, keep the tiles and die in a safe box to avoid losing or damaging them. Make sure to count all your items after each game to ensure nothing is missing. Have fun playing and may you become the best orchard keeper in Applejack!
