Description
Grow the vegetables, raise the sale price, and make a fortune!
Vegetable Stock, which debuted as Small Farmer, is a simple card game about vegetable economics. Each round, reveal one more card than the number of players on the table. Each card has three vegetable icons on it, with vegetables coming in five types. Players take turns choosing one of the cards and placing it in their harvest pile face down. The price of the vegetable(s) on the card not chosen goes up — but if the price goes too high, it crashes, although it can rise again next round.
After six rounds, determine your score by multiplying the number of each vegetable you have harvested by the final price of that vegetable. The player with the highest score wins!

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Card drafting / selection — each round players select a card to keep; the remaining card influences market actions
- end-game scoring by multiplication — points are computed by multiplying your vegetable counts by their current market values
- market pricing and crash — tracked values for each vegetable; prices rise when their corresponding card is left out and can crash when a vegetable tops out
- rapid round structure — the game runs for a fixed number of rounds (six in normal play) to produce a quick, tension-filled session
