About the game

What you do in a play session

Ever felt the satisfaction of organizing a garden perfectly? That's exactly what you're doing in Harvest Dice! Imagine you're a dedicated farmer planning your crops, but with a twist: everything depends on the luck (and strategy) of the dice. The game blends 'roll-and-write' dynamics with a competitive scramble for resources.

Each round, dice are rolled, and the competition begins. You must pick the right dice to plant vegetables in your garden or perhaps feed your hungry pigs. But it's not just about grabbing what you want; there's a dynamic market at play. If everyone ignores a certain vegetable, its value increases, making it a golden opportunity for those who know how to wait for the right moment. It's a constant tug-of-war between 'do I take this now or wait for a bigger payoff later?'

The heart of the game lies in your paper sheet. You'll be doodling, filling in spaces, and trying to create the best planting patterns. It's light, fast, and visually satisfying, as you see your garden grow as the game progresses. The ultimate goal is to reach harvest time with the most valuable vegetables to secure the win. It's the perfect kind of game for those who enjoy sheet-filling puzzles without wanting to spend three hours learning the rules. If you love roll-and-write games and a bit of dice-driven chaos, Harvest Dice is the right choice for your next game night.
