About the game

What you do in a play session

Get your hoes and your poker faces ready, because the annual Turnip-Off is almost here! In Turnip, you and your friends become turnip farmers competing to see who can bring the biggest harvest to market. The question is: will you be an honest farmer, planting and harvesting your turnips with all dignity? Or will you join the bluffing game, lying about your production to trick the competition? The game invites you to secretly stash cards, keep an eye on players who are spinning tales, and gather as many turnip tokens as possible. At the end of each round, whoever presents the highest value in turnip cards secures victory. But watch out, because there's a 'Turtle Tax' that doesn't forgive and must be paid! It's a fast-paced game, full of laughter and bluffs, perfect for livening up any game night with friends. The interaction is high, the tension builds with each round, and the fun is guaranteed, whether you're the master of bluffing or the victim of others' lies. Who will walk away with the biggest pile of turnips and farm glory?
