INTRODUCTION OF ORCHARD

Orchard is a print and play solitaire card game in which players are trying to place cards and dice to harvest as much fruit as possible.  Cards will be place horizontally or vertically so that at least one tree overlaps a tree of the same color already on the table.  Every time a player successfully does this, the die value for that tree is increased and more fruit is harvested.  The goal is to harvest as much fruit as possible before the game ends.  온카지노

MATERIALS

With two sheets of paper and a colored printer, print off the double sided cards and rule book.  The game also requires 15 dice.  All of the dice are six sided and color coordinate with the fruit on the cards.  The 5 red dice are apples, the 5 yellow dice are pears, and the purple dice are plums.  The two tokens represent rotten fruit.  Of course, using dice of different colors is fine, but each fruit is only allowed to have five dice available.

SETUP

 Place all of the dice and tokens in a pile, so they are easily reached.  Shuffle the cards and place them in a pile.  Draw the top card and place it face up to begin the orchard.  Draw two cards to form your hand.

THE PLAY

During each turn, you will complete three actions: play a card, place dice, and draw a card.

PLAY A CARD

You will play one card from your hand.  In order to play the card, it must have a tree color that matches a tree in the orchard.  The card must be placed so that it covers another card in the orchard.  It can cover trees from different cards.  The card can be oriented vertically or horizontally, and the trees must match the ones they are covering.
