About the game
In Crops, you take on the role of a farmer, cultivating your own field by carefully selecting crops and goals to achieve the best harvest possible. But beware, nature plays a crucial role: the Moon Phases influence your field’s yield and determine your final score. Which of the four Moon Phases will shape your strategy? Plan wisely, maximize your combinations of Crop Family Symbols and goals, and become the greatest farmer! The game is played over 12 turns. Each turn, you must play a Crop Card in your Field, at the end of each turn, you may also optionally play a Goal Card at the top or bottom of one of the columns in your Field. At the end of the twelfth turn, your Field must consist of exactly 3 columns, each containing 4 Crop Cards, and up to 6 Goal Cards. Once all players have completed their Field, it’s time to harvest and calculate the final score. You will earn Victory Points in four different ways: Dominant Moon Phase in your Field, Crop Family Symbols, Upper Goal Cards, and Lower Goal Cards. —description from the publisher
