Froot Processor is a game about building a machine to process fruit from the harvest to convert it to the most valuable products.

Instructions

There are six rounds, before each round but the first you can build up to 3 machines that will direct the produce harvested to different buyers.

Place the machines cleverly to try to get the best score!

The Buyers

The buyers, from left to right, have different needs:

Round Events

Each round after the first has a "Special Event" that affects the scoring.

For example, in "Pumpkin Spice Season", all Pumpkin produced are worth double when scoring. Most events double one type of fruit but the Apple Season triples it.

Fruit Values

The base value of fruit is as follows: * Apple is worth 1 * Orange is worth 2 * Pumpkin is worth 3 * Strawberry is worth 4 * Watermelon is worth 5

Each Fancyfier raises the base value by one. E.g. An "Extra Fancy Pumpkin" is worth 5.

The Processors

You can build several different tiles to process the fruit:

• A Canner will can the fruit. Canning a baked good makes it no longer baked.
• A Manure Pile makes fruit Organic.
• A Clone Jar will make two identical copies of the fruit.
• A Blender converts fruit to smoothies. Smoothies are not baked.
• A Pieinator converts fruit to Baked Goods.
• A Fancyfier raises the base value of the fruit by +1. You can chain multiple fancifiers.
• A Sorter directs the fruit in whatever direction results in the most valuable final result.

Cleverly placing tiles, especially SORTERS, and choosing which column to drop the fruit in can result in combinations that greatly increase your score!

Once you understand the rules, a good goal to aim for is a score of 1000+. One playtester managed to get over 10k!
