About the game
What you do in a play session
In this cooperative game, the mission is clear: harvest all the apples, plums, and pears before that mischievous raven arrives and feasts on the fruits. Each player, on their turn, rolls a colored die. The color that lands up indicates which fruit you can pick from the board and place in your basket. But be careful! If the die shows the raven, it advances one step on the orchard path. If it reaches the end before you've harvested everything, the raven wins. If the baskets are full first, victory is yours!
The components are a highlight: beautiful and robust wooden pieces, designed for small hands, which not only facilitate the game but are also great for stimulating fine motor skills and free play. Besides being a fantastic introduction to board games, First Orchard helps little ones learn colors, the importance of taking turns, and the concept of working together towards a common goal. It's a playful and educational experience, perfect for family moments.
