Fruit Bandits

 

Each player organises the fruit harvest of his country, in each of the 9 weeks players either harvest their own products or steal half of the harvest of another player. Each player has revenue cards for his fruit, a harvest card for his fruit and bandit cards for each of the other fruits. All turn up the top harvest card, which shows the number of ripe fruit and the potential revenue for the round. Players decide simultaneously if they harvest or steal: For a harvest card the revenue is split among the harvester and eventual bandits, more than three bandits destroy the total harvest. Harvest assistant and Easy Harvest cards modify the result. When all revenue cards have been played the player with the highest score wins.
