Oliva

Players act as olive farmers in mid-20th-century Portugal, managing groves, mills and presses to produce and sell olive oil. On each turn, players select and reveal action cards to perform tasks—harvest trees, process fruit in water-powered stone mills and hand presses, and ship oil to markets. Available actions gain strength depending on the cards visible across all player boards. The game runs a fixed number of rounds determined by player count; the farmer with the most victory points at the end wins. Components and mechanics reflect both traditional and modernizing production methods of the period.
