About the game
Harvest Dice is a quick, colorful dice-drafting game where players plant vegetables in their garden or feed them to pigs, all while doodling their farm on a scorepad. Each round, players roll and draft dice to fill their garden grid, racing to plant the most valuable crops before the market shifts. With simple rules and a fast 30-minute playtime, it's an easygoing filler that's easy to teach to new players. The paper-and-pencil format keeps setup and cleanup effortless.
Hobbli's Notes
Harvest Dice packs a satisfying push-your-luck drafting puzzle into a tiny footprint. Its light rules and quick playtime make it a reliable choice for warming up or closing out a game night. The farming theme and doodle-style scoresheets give it a charming, low-pressure feel. It won't challenge experienced strategy gamers, but it's a delightful filler for families and casual groups.
