Fruchtopia

Goal

Earn the most Caribbean Gems by planting fruit in your orchards, trading wisely, and harvesting at the right time.

Your hand

• You hold up to 5 fruit cards.
• You cannot reorder your hand — always plant the front card first.

A turn

1. Plant 1 card from your hand (optional 2nd, unless a storm blocks it).
2. Reveal market — 2 fruit cards everyone can see.
3. Trade — other players propose offers or choose No Trade (no timer). When everyone has responded, the active player accepts or skips.
4. Plant pending fruit — plant traded fruit and any leftover market cards (they become pending for the active player).
5. Refill your hand toward 5, then the next player goes.

Orchards

• Plant matching fruit types together. Harvest an orchard when you want the gems (and to free space).
• Early harvests often score 0 gems — build orchards before picking.
• You may move the top card between orchards when the destination allows it.
• You may swap all cards between two orchards, except a Grafting Orchard that already has two fruit types.

Grafting Orchard

Buy Orchard 3 for 3 gems. Plant a compatible pair there to activate a ×2 graft automatically (unless a storm blocks grafting):

• Apple–Pear
• Peach–Plum
• Orange–Grapefruit
• Banana–Coconut

Weather and storms

• Each round has Weather that applies to everyone.
• One player drafts a Storm for the round — its effect applies to all players (for several turns, based on table size).

Undo

If you plant, harvest, move, swap, or accept a trade by mistake, you can Request Undo. A majority of players must approve; otherwise the action stands.

Ending the game

The fruit deck can reshuffle a few times. After it runs out 3 times, the game ends — final orchards are scored and the highest gem total wins.
