The Little Orchard (2004)

About this game

A cooperative game for children. The players have to pick up all the cherries, before the crow can steal them from the tree. With good memory and a little bit of deduction, the game can be won, but if you forget which tiles have the crow on the other side, watch out! He'll eat all your cherries! The board is integrated in the box and comes with the usual nice Haba pieces.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 4. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 1.1/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 3 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
