Sweet Beginnings

In Fruity Dice, you'll create a delicious fruit salad on your game board by filling columns and collecting matching fruits. On your turn, pick a fruit color die and a number die to mark connected spaces of juicy goodness. Be quick to grab the tastiest dice combinations before other players! The more your fruit spreads across the board, the more delectable options you'll have. Score extra points by collecting every fruit of one type, but once you've gathered two complete fruit collections, it's time for dessert!

Preparing the Fruit Bowl

Each player gets their own fruit garden sheet and a marker to tend it.

Harvesting Season

Pick a head gardener (starting player) who rolls all 6 dice. They choose one fruit color die and one number die to mark their garden first. Other players can then pick from the remaining 4 dice to mark their own gardens. Multiple gardeners can use the same remaining dice combination.

Garden Rules
  • During the first three harvests (rolls), everyone can pick from all fruits (dice)
  • Gardeners can skip their harvest if they don't like the options
  • If the head gardener skips, others can use any of the 6 fresh dice
Planting Guidelines
  • Your first fruit must grow in the center garden plot (column H)
  • All fruits of the same type must be connected
  • New fruits must touch existing ones horizontally or vertically
  • Plant exactly the number of fruits shown on the die
  • Fruit patches can grow over multiple turns
  • Maximum 5 fruits can be planted in one turn
  • Can't split numbers between different patches of the same fruit
  • Magic seed (?) and rainbow fruit (black) are wild cards
Fruit Points

When you fill a garden column, announce your harvest and circle the points below. The first to complete gets the riper points, others get the regular points. First to collect all fruits of one type earns 5 bonus points, others can earn 3. If multiple gardeners complete at the same time, everyone gets the higher value.

Final Harvest

The garden closes when a player completes their second fruit collection. Others get one final planting with the remaining 4 dice. Total your points from completed columns, fruit collection bonuses, unused wild cards, and any special unpicked fruits.
