About the game

You secretly assign your pickers and planters to the different orchards. Then everyone executes their actions. The people later in the round may get cut out of the fruit picking. Next each person in order has a chance to send their fruits to the fair to win prizes (vp) or hire another worker. After that who ever has the most fruit in each of the four types wins a special ability. The ability you can win with each fruit can change at the end of the turn. When there are only a certain number of prizes left the game ends and you add up your prizes and remaining fruit to see who wins. Despite the name, no food fighting involved.
