Fruit Trees

Setup:
 Add “Fruit Seeds” +1 space to the board.

Bake Pie”

phase.

The rules for fruit trees are as follows:

 You may plant a tree on any empty space on your player board.
1. Fruit Trees do not need to be orthogonal similar to stables.
2. You may also plant the seed inside of a pasture space not containing
a stable or
 Fruit Trees do not have to be orthogonal, like stables.
1. Add a Fruit Tree tile to the space you planted the seed on:
 similar to a plowing a field, from the Farmland space.
2. Add the fruit onto the Fruit Tree tile.
 At any time, a Fruit may be picked off a Fruit Tree.
 At any time, a Fruit may be eaten as 1 food.

Harvest:
 Field Phase - Add 1 Fruit onto each Fruit Tree tile (from the supply)
1. (Again, this Fruit may be picked at any time).
2. Fruit is going onto the tile as wheat and vegetables are removed
from planted fields.
 Feeding Phase – Nothing changes, feed your family.

1. +1 wood is added to the tile that has 0 or 1 wood on it.

3. Fruit Tree tiles inside of pastures: do not change the number of
animals that may be contained in the pasture.
4. Stables and Fruit trees may not be on the same farmyard space.
5. If you produce an animal inside of the pasture with a Fruit Tree tile
& it has a Fruit on it; your animals consume 1 fruit and produce
twins this harvest. (You cannot rearrange your animals to produce
multiple twins from the same Fruit Tree tile).

Additional Rules:
 At any time, you may cut down your “Fruit Tree”
o Return the Fruit Tree tile to the supply
o All wood & fruit tokens are added to the player’s supply.

Variants
Variant #1 – No Grow Phase
 During the Field Phase the wood is added to the tile, not during the Grow /
Breeding Phase.
o (This would allow a player to chop a Fruit Tree down and use for Fuel
when playing Farmer and the Moor).
o This would also allow wood to be used with improvements like
Joinery.
 2 Fruit tokens are added to a Fruit Tree that has 2 or more wood on it.

Variant #2 – Green Apples

 When you take 1 seed from the supply you take a Green apple.
 During harvest when your tree produces a Fruit, you produce a Red apple.
o Green apples always bake for the same amount as Grain
o Red apples bake for 1 more food than Grain.

Variant #3 – Bad Apples

 Place 24 Green Apples, 18 Red Apples & 8 Black Apples into the bag.
o If a Black apple (Fruit) is drawn out of the bag it is Spoiled,
 If the Spoiled Fruit was a seed, it spoils all seeds in a player’s
supply. (If this rule is too powerful, the player’s Meeple is
returned to their house, and it is the next players turn. Thus,
giving this player their turn back; they will just have to wait till
play goes around the board, possibly costing them the chance
to take a Fruit seed.)
 If the spoiled Fruit was to be placed on a Fruit Tree tile, it
spoils all the Fruit on that one tile. (Wood is still collected as
normal),
 After the spoiled Fruit spoils the batch, the spoiled fruit
is removed from the game.
 After a red or green token has been used, it is returned
to the main supply (Random Bag).
o Green apples always bake for the same amount as Grain
o Red apples bake for 1 more food than Grain.
