About the game
Take the role of a vendor at your local farmers market and strategically stack Produce Crates to maximize your stock. Doing so will earn you points along the way but be mindful of the competition as each produce type will score bonus points at the end of the game for player who cornered the market! Market Fresh is a stacking, tile-placement game for 1 to 4 players. On a players turn, they take a crate from the supply or one of the available face up crates and add it to their hand. They will then choose one of their crates from their hand to place into their stall and score points accordingly. Points are scored when you place a crate into your stall. The more produce you match that is visible on your board, the more you'll score. Players earn bonus points at the end of the game for each produce type which they had the most crates of. Market Fresh includes smaller market stalls and a "Crate Heights" variants which adds extra challenge to the game for players who want to build taller stands! —description from the publisher

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 Market Fresh is 45 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Market Fresh for ages 8 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.
