Description

Scrumpy: Card Cider is an innovative deck-manipulation game of cider production and sales.
Players race to produce the most money from their exploits, using cards to gain apples and wood, efficiently converting their raw materials into cider and barrels, develop their cidery to improve their manufacturing process and all the time ensuring they don't over-stockpile and lose the actions they need.

The game plays differently to most deck-building games in three key ways.

(1) Cards in a players deck, also serve as the resources that can be produced (Wood, Apples, Barrels and Cider) by flipping a card and sliding it under the correct part of your storehouse
(2) Cards have a secondary action. If you aren't happy with the options available, you can always use a card for its Secondary action which means you can directly make a card into apples and wood instead of having to use other cards.
(3) As the cidery owner, you are always able to do an action each round yourself instead of playing a card. These actions are slightly less efficient as you are not as good at the job, but this unique mechanic means you can, at the right time, use your owner meeple to select a 'core action' to be completed.

Each player will strive to efficiently produce cider in bottles or more valuable cider in barrels and sell it at a variety of themed Distributors as efficiently as possible. Upgrades to the innovatively designed Storehouse will also allow for more efficiencies and the winning player will earn the most prestige over the course of the game.
