How to play
You have one summer of 30 days and a small farm with six fields. Buy seeds at the shop and tap the fields: in an empty field the farmer sows the seed you picked, a thirsty plant gets watered and a ripe crop goes into the basket. You can tap several fields in a row, and the farmer takes care of them in order.
A plant only grows overnight if it was watered during the day. If a plant goes two days in a row without water, it wilts. Rain waters every field for you, and tomorrow’s weather shows at the top. A day lasts from six in the morning to eight in the evening, but you can go to bed earlier.
Take your crops to the market and sell them. The prices change every day, so sometimes it pays to wait for a better price. With your money you can buy more fields, a bigger watering can, sprinklers and a scarecrow. Without a scarecrow, crows come to peck at your plants – tap them to shoo them away before they eat anything.
If you can’t water everything in time, tokens get you a rain cloud that waters every field for the rest of the day.
Scoring
Your score is the euros you earned at the market over the summer. At the end of the summer, whatever is left in your basket is sold at the autumn market. The game saves itself, so you can continue your summer later.
Tips
- Dill and peas ripen fast and get your money going early on.
- Sow strawberries early: they give a crop every three days all summer.
- Sunflowers are expensive and slow but earn a lot. Keep them watered and the crows away.
- The big watering can saves a lot of time once you have more than ten fields.
