Give each player:
Each player performs:
Place the lock upgrade marker over the 2nd dashed "Bake" action space
Assign a start player and give them the start player marker.
Mix the remaining ingredients in the bag and add 2 ingredients to each hex on the orchard
In a 4 player game, use all the hexes in the orchard
All secret recipes must be comprised of 2 common ingredients and 1 rare ingredient. Do not show your secret recipe to other players.
When placing a worker die in the orchard, players may take ingredients from any of the 3 adjacent spaces equal to the die level.
Players may only take ingredients they have the capacity to store.
Players bake pies using the ingredients in storage. The maximum number of pies that can be baked is equal to the worker die level.
Pies of the following types can be baked (in addition to the secret recipes below)
To bake pies, present all the ingredients to be used for all the pies. Do not reveal which ingredients are use for which pies to conceal your secret recipe.
Baked pies are added as pie tokens to the market in columns. Place new pies at the top of the column. You cannot add pies to a column if it would exceed the max for the player count:
Each player earns 1 VP for each pie baked. If the player has upgraded their kitchen, the receive 2 VPs for each pie baked.
To conceal your secret recipe, it is recommended that you bake at least 2 pies at a time.
You can attempt to bake an opponent's secret recipe. To do this, select the 3 ingredients for an opponent and show them to that player secretly.
The player sells all the pies in 1 column of their choice. Players may not use this action if they do not sell pies.
VPs are awarded to the players with pies in the column based on the pies sold:
Remove the sold pies from the market.
The player who placed the die receives VPs equal to the level of the worker, then they draw 2 ingredients from the bag.
Sell all pies in the bottom row of the market. Players may not use this action if they do not sell pies.
VPs are awarded to the players with pies in the column based on the pies sold:
Any remaining pies in the market "drop down".
Remove the sold pies from the market.
The player who placed the die receives VPs equal to the level of the worker, then they draw 2 ingredients from the bag.
When placing here, the player chooses who starts the next round.
If no player places a worker here, the start player will rotate clockwise at the end of the round.
Return 1 ingredient of your secret recipe to the bag and replace it with a new ingredient.
Your new secret recipe must still be comprised of 2 common ingredients and 1 rare ingredient.
Players may increase one of the following:
The upgrade effect is immediate. Players don't have to wait until next round to use upgrades.
Players take a die from their supply and place it at level 1 next to the Hire space on their mat. The new worker die cannot be assigned to an action until the next round.
Note that dice of levels "1" and "2" cannot be used to hire.
Any worker an opponent places in the orchard or the market is open to be "spied upon" by placing a higher level worker on top of a worker in the orchard/market.
The difference between the 2 workers' levels is the number of secret recipe ingredients that the Spy may see at random.
The player being spied on may not know which ingredients were spied on.
Players do not have to perform the market/orchard action if spying. If the player does not sell pies in the market, they do not receive bonus VPs or ingredients.
Players take turns building secret recipes from ingredients in the bag, showing them to the associated player in secret. Players may choose not to guess if they do not wish. They score points based on the number of correct ingredients.
Return any ingredients used to guess back to the bag.
Unsold pies in the market are 1 VP each.
The tie breaker is the player with the strongest workforce (sum of their dice).
