In Orchard you compete against yourself. It is an innovative solo game that you can play quickly. Each turn you place a card on the table and try to overlap as many previously 'planted' fruit trees as possible. The more times you overlap a tree, the more points you earn. Quite a puzzle! You play each game with 9 of the 18 cards in the box. This allows you to play two games in quick succession. Orchard can also be played with multiple players: each player needs their own copy of the game.
