Game description from the publisher: It is harvesting time in the orchard! The cheeky raven, however, also wants his share of the delicious cherries, apples, pears and plums. He hops from tree to tree, pinching fruits here and there. Will you be able to harvest the fruit before the greedy raven reaches his nest? In Kleiner Obstgarten, the children - with a bit of help from the die – try to pick the fruits from the trees before the ravens reaches his nest.
Kleiner Obstgarten 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 catalogue lists Kleiner Obstgarten for ages 3 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.
