Description

Bananas, papayas, pineapples ... The rainforest is full of juicy and delicious fruits just waiting for you. But be careful: at the end of the game, some fruits may turn out to be spoiled ... Harvest the best fruits wisely to avoid the bad ones, and use your Toucan cards to protect your stash ... or steal fruit from your opponents!

Making a move is simple: choose one of three piles of cards, then place a new card on top of each pile. It's up to you to make the best tactical decisions to secure victory and leave the spoiled fruit to your opponents. A colourful and clever strategy game with easy-to-understand rules for children and adults!
