Build groves and house critters with special abilities! This is a set collection style card game with a Johnny Appleseed theme! Score points based on grove size, apple bakery goals, and how many Critters you can help find love, in this fast-paced family-friendly card game. 2-5 players will start with 3 simple actions - Draw Cards, Play Groves, or Attract Critters. Those actions quickly expand as the game advances. Players will take turns performing one action on their turn. Groves are made up of "Apple Tree" cards played as runs (1,2,3,4,5,etc) of the same color or Sets (2,2,2,2) of any colors. Whichever critters you decide to bring into those groves will create a unique strategy for each playthrough. The Deck consists of 132 Green, Red, and Yellow "Apple Tree" Cards, 36 Critter cards (from Ravens to Beavers), 7 Bee Cards, and 7 Bakery goals!
