About this item

Grove is the citrusy sequel to the award winning Orchard 9 card solitaire game
Its 18 cards feature orange, lemon and lime trees and a new 'wild card' element, glades. These open spaces without trees, combined with a new scoring mechanic, offer more ways and opportunities to increase your harvest and create a greater variety of gameplay and strategies compared to Orchard.
You'll also find a cheeky squirrel, who can either help or hinder your fruit picking, as well as a wheelbarrow - useful if you manage to get an extra large haul.
The card backs feature recipe challenges with various scoring conditions and target scores. These provide a win/lose condition (as an alternative to the standard game's ‘beat your score’) for those that prefer it - and add even more variety to the game.

5.0 out of 5 stars So easy to learn, and challenging
Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2023
I have to say, this is the easiest solo game I’ve come across. Instructions are very straightforward and includes pictures. Playing it without using the recipe cards is how I started before making the gameplay more challenging. Using two random recipes can really make it challenging because you have specific goals to meet (for instance, using all 5 green dice to get extra points, or mixing up a fruit cocktail). Even if you crossed off both recipe objectives, you don’t necessarily win the game, because also part of the objective is the fact that you need to add up the sum of both cards and meet or exceed that amount. There is a sneaky squirrel wooden token which sometimes can help you increase your score but you have to do it correctly to get a positive boost in points, because you also lose a point for each orthagonally adjacent dice at the end of the game. A wooden wheelbarrow token is included to be used for an extra large bushel of fruit. This game is great, just 18 cards total and dice. You will need a small surface to play on. Tip: If you lose a die like I did, you can get the small dice in the same color for about 5 dollars. Just use the 1 on the die to symbolize a basket. Note, I did not contact the company about obtaining the official die. However, I played with the correct size green translucent die (with no basket) easily for weeks. The other day my devious dog got into my bedroom and took off with a shoe…and the missing official green die tumbled out of it. Good girl, huh? All in all, I’m thrilled with this game and the beautiful sturdy box makes it very portable for travel. I’m taking it camping next weekend!

Small little game I can bring with me, simple play style but challenging enough to beat your high score.

I love playing this on a plane tray table. Card quality is great. I have both Grove and Orchard. Orchard is simpler and more relaxing. Grove is more challenging, more rewarding, and has more variety because of the recipe cards.

5.0 out of 5 stars Satisfying fast solo
Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2023
I loved the puzzly aspect of this game, and the weight of the dice in my hands. In one evening I was able to play 4 games in a row and really get to know the game. Using the cards as objectives did make it more challenging. Since all the pieces fit in the box, I can see taking this with me on trips to play in downtime

Play twice per shuffle, about 10 minutes per game. The game is strong on pattern recognition.
