First Fruits is a card game that celebrates 40 real fruit varieties across four seasons: apples, peaches, pears, and cherries. Each card features an original watercolor painting of a specific cultivar, along with educational information about that variety. The game captures the joy of orchard harvesting, with players racing to build their harvest faster than their opponents. Each player starts with ten cards in hand and, on their turn, can either play a card or draw from the deck. The board consists of three diamond-marked spaces arranged in a triangle, each displaying two different fruit types. To play a card, a player must match the fruit shown on an existing card in that space and play a higher-numbered card. If the space is empty, they simply match one of the two fruits displayed on the diamond marker. When the deck runs out, players shuffle the discard pile to create a new deck. Special cards, like the +2, which forces the next player to draw two cards, spinning arrows that reverse the direction of play, and arcing arrows that skip the next player's turn, add strategic depth. After any special card effect resolves, all cards in that space go to the discard pile. The game is easy to learn, taking about two minutes to teach, and lasts approximately fifteen minutes. The first player to play all cards from their hand and achieve an empty hand wins immediately. Victory requires both strategic card management and tactical positioning at the three harvest spaces, balancing when to play high cards, when to draw, and how to use special cards to disrupt opponents' momentum.
