Chill & Chili

Plant and irrigate

You are a farmer and want to plant vegetables on your acres, as lucrative as possible, for victory points and even more points if you irrigate your vegetables properly. You begin with five vegetable cards and four water/money chips for money. Two rows of four vegetable cards are displayed openly at the market board and the price strip, tool cards are stacked according to type.

The active player can change a row of vegetables in the market by paying 1 coin. Then he must move a water chip from the pond board - where the number of chips varies with the number of players - and must then select one of three options: 1. Buy a card - vegetable or tool. You pay a tool by placing the indicated number of chips into the well, and you can own each tool only once. For a vegetable, you take the top card from the stack for free or buy a card from the market for its current price due to its position at the price strip. 2. Plant a vegetable bed by laying down the necessary number of cards, or lay down a tool for the permanent advantages of water, money or a card. 3. Take chips from the pond, for use either as money or water. For water, you put them on the sun symbols on your beds; completely irrigated beds give you double points at the end of the game. When the last chip is slid into the pond, you score your beds according to irrigation status, plus one point for each card in hand and one point for any three money chips.

A very pretty family game in which you should rather focus on generating points for yourself; sometimes taking water and irrigating is more lucrative than buying up a third tomato to block another player.
