Step by step

  1. Print the orchard board, fruit tokens, and die, then cut and fold them together.
  2. "The raven wants to eat our fruit! We have to harvest everything BEFORE he reaches the orchard."
  3. Roll a color to pick that fruit; roll the raven and he hops forward one space.
  4. Decide TOGETHER on every open choice ("Which fruit should we save first?"): talking it through is the heart of the game.
  5. Experience the finale as a team: celebrate a shared win, or brush off a shared defeat—the raven better watch out next time!
  6. "What helped us win or lose? What should we do differently next time?"
