Each turn, you'll pick a random tile and place it on your field, trying to create connections and chains between crops to increase their harvest value. Initially, only one crop's value is revealed.

With easy-to-learn rules that still challenge your planning skills, this game will push you to optimize every inch of your farmland. Can you become the top farmer in the region?
