Orchard: 9 card solitaire game

Arrange a tiny orchard by playing nine cards from a small deck to score fruit where tree symbols overlap. Cards depict trees bearing different fruits; placing a card so its trees overlap identical trees already in the orchard increases the harvest value. A limited pool of dice and two “rotten” cubes track harvest levels and allow occasional rule-bending plays at a points penalty, so the player balances expanding overlap against risking rotten fruit. Games run under ten minutes and use a rotating selection of cards for compact replayability.

    I definitely prefer heavier games, but this one is fun to play when I don’t have much time. I like the visuals of it, and I definitely feel like it stretches my visual/special skills. A bit too abstract for me.
