## Description
Remember that time of friendly competition at the Apple Factory during Bonus Week? Everyone trying their best to grab the best fruits and fill the crates, right? Well, the mechanical arm broke this year and now it takes two to operate it. One controls the horizontal movement (left/right) and the other the vertical (up/down). That's when things got serious: you and your partner are now directly competing to see who grabs the most apples. Can you snag the premium ones and leave only the scraps for the other? Or maybe take advantage of a rush order to get ahead? Watch out for quality control and order mix-ups, which also add an extra spice to the game. In the end, whoever has the most apples in their crates wins. Pick & Pack is an abstract game for two players that requires coordination and a bit of cunning to get ahead, all in about 20 minutes!
