Цель игры

Цель игры — посадить, вырастить и собрать лучшие помидоры со своих томатных стеблей, пытаясь помешать другим садоводам сделать то же самое. Для этого вы сеете (ставите кубик на один из ваших открытых жетонов помидоров) в свои стебли лучшие/самые результативные кубики, которые вы бросили, и отдаете кубики с меньшим количеством очков вашим противникам.

• 11 red dice

• 3 tomato tokens

GAMEPLAY

The game play is simple. On their turn, active players pick 3 dice from the bushel and roll them. All rolled dice need to be distributed - either placed on an empty tomato as a seed or added to an existing vine. Dice can be placed in their play area or in the opponents' play areas. Players are allowed to try to influence the active player's placement decision. Dice that cannot be placed are passed to the next player as additional dice to roll. Completing opponent's tomato earns the active player karma. The number of karma earned depends on the value scored by the opponent (see KARMA). Karma can be spent immediately after earning them or at any time during active player's turn. Game continues until a 6th tomato of any player is completed. That triggers the final round which means that after the last player had their turn the game will end.

COLLECTING POINTS

Main source of points in the game are the tomato vines. Additional points are scored at the end of the game from unused karma and unfinished tomato vines.

Points from tomato vines - When a tomato vine has 4 dice it can be harvested - the owner of the vine transfers the seed dice from the tomato token of the vine onto their next available score spot and the remaining dice back to the bushel. The score is adjusted by number of black and golden dice on the vine. Each black dice lowers the score by 1 point. Each golden dice raises the score by 1 point.

---

DICEY TOMATO RULES Variant

When the score matches the score slot number, bonus points are awarded to make the score equal 6 points. So, if you score a 1 on score slot 1 you receive 5 bonus points and if you score 4 on score slot 4 you receive 2 bonus points. Also, the score slot is decorated with a gold star.

---

Points for finishing the 6th tomato first - 2 points.

Points from unused karma - each 2 unused karma points earn 1 end game point.

---

Regular rules

Points from unfinished tomato vines - each tomato vine with 3 dice on it earns 1 point.

---

DICEY TOMATO RULES Variant

Points from uncollected red dice on vines - each 3 red dice earn 1 point.

KARMA

Karma is the amount of gratitude players earn by helping other players score points. When an active player completes opponent's tomato - places the 4th dice on the vine - they earn karma points based on the score earned by the receiving player.

BLACK DICE

The "rotten" black dice can be used offensively and defensively. Players can use them to lower opponent's score by adding a black die to the tomato vine following the placement rules. They can also use them defensively to cancel/clear a tomato vine - if a tomato vine is worth 0 points at the end of active player's turn, that vine can be cleared (all dice, including the seed dice, return to the bushel). So if player has a seed dice worth 1 point, they can add black dice with value of either 1 or 2 which will lower the vine score to 0.

Black dice can only be added to a vine, they cannot be used as seed dice.

Top ↑

GOLD/YELLOW DICE

Available in the Sunny Golden Hybrid game variant

The "Sunny Golden Hybrid" gold/yellow are used to raise the value of the vine. Players also use them defensively to cancel/clear a tomato vine - if a tomato vine is worth more than 6 points at the end of active player's turn, that vine is overripe and has to be cleared (all dice, including the seed dice, return to the bushel). So if an opponent has a set of 3 6s on the vine, active player can add golden dice with value of 6 which will raise the vine score to 7 and make it overripe.

As is the case with the black dice, golden dice can only be added to a vine, they cannot be used as seed dice.

GAME END

The final round is triggered when a 6th tomato of any player has been harvested. Game continues until the last player finishes their turn. When the last player distributes all their rolled dice the game ends. It is possible to end the game in a tie.

Game also ends immediately if there are no dice in the bushel at the start of a player's turn.

WINNER

The winner of the game is the player with the most points from the tomato score track, unused karma and unfinished vines.

SINGLE PLAYER MODE

In single mode, your goal is to score all 6 tomatoes while matching the value scored to the score track number. So for the first score you want to get 1, for the second score you want to get 2, etc. Each matching score gives you a positive victory point. If you run out of dice without completing all 6 tomatoes you loose. But since single player can only be played in training mode you don't loose and prestige.

The single mode was created for individuals to learn how the randomness of the dice can be manipulated through the use of karma and black dice.

You earn karma hearts for each completed tomato based on the seed value as in the regular game except you earn it by completing your own tomatoes.

The game does not end when there are no dice in the bushel as long as you still have dice in hand.
