Welcome back to Furroughfield! And you’re here in time for our favorite time of year. The leaves are changing, the days are getting shorter, and the smell of blue-ribbon pies is in the air. It can mean only one thing: The Fall Festival is in town, and it’s the commonwealth’s largest and most beloved event as we come together to admire the craft and creativity of our neighbors. This expansion brings all-new locations to our little town, where festival-goers can earn a few extra coins, harvest their fields, and get Fall Festival favorites for new actions, benefits, and ways to score. Plus you’ll bring home the finest pies – blueberry, pecan, pumpkin, strawberry-rhubarb, and Furroughfield’s famous sugar cream! This fall, fall in love with Harvest all over again. Note: The Harvest Fix-It Pack (for those who purchased the original retail edition or backed the Golden Edition) is packaged inside the Fall Festival box. —description from the publisher
Harvest: Fall Festival supports 1–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Harvest: Fall Festival is 30–60 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Harvest: Fall Festival for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Harvest: Fall Festival has a complexity rating of 2.7 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game.
