Scrumpy

Scrumpy: Card Cider is a strategic card game inspired by traditional cider making. Players run their own cidery, using cards to harvest apples, gather wood, craft barrels, and produce cider to sell to a range of local Vendors.

A unique deck-manipulation game where the cards in your deck are not only actions, but also become the resources within your cidery. The game plays differently from most deck-building games in three key ways:

• Cards in a player's 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.
• 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 turn a card into Apples and Wood instead of having to use other cards.
• As the cidery owner, you are always able to perform an action each round yourself instead of playing a card. These actions are slightly less efficient because you are not as skilled at the job, but this unique mechanic allows you, at the right time, to use your owner meeple to select a 'core action' to complete.

As the game progresses, players carefully manage where their cards are placed, balancing production, storage, and sales to keep their cidery running efficiently.

Throughout the game, you will improve your Storehouse, complete deliveries, achieve goals, and develop better ways to turn raw materials into valuable cider. Every card can be used in different ways, giving players flexibility and meaningful choices each turn.

Success comes from planning ahead, managing your resources wisely, and building the most prestigious cidery by the end of the game.
