Plant. Grow. Harvest. Outplay.

Cropocalypse is a farming party game for one to four farmers. Everyone shares one field and one market bell. Plant crops whose roots creep across the soil, gather any harvest you can reach, and carry it home before the bell rings. Nobody is knocked out: the farmer who sells the most wins.

Your crops are your tools

Hold to plant: roots spread through the soil, dig open mounds and wall off your rivals
Nine crops, each with its own soil and trick: carrots spill a rival's bag, vines slow, pumpkins stun, berry bushes shove, watermelons empty a whole bag
Throw fruit from your bag at rivals, foxes and crows
Drop hedges to block paths, and raid rival bases while they are away
Heavy loads slow you down, so plan the way home

When night falls

At dusk the foxes come for your stores and the bears for your animals. Chop wood by day, then set snares, fire flares and light fires to hold the farm until morning.

The market

When the bell rings, sell your harvest and spend the coins: bigger bags and a wheelbarrow, fences, boots for mud and water, climbing gear, a lantern, new seeds and contracts that pay a premium. Lead wild hens, sheep, cows and pigs home to your pen for eggs, wool and milk.
