Fruit Basket

2–4 players · 15 min · 4+

Players progress through the orchard by rolling the color die. But they can only advance to the color thrown if they can remember the location of the matching fruit memory token. The first to reach the colorful fruit basket wins.

A roll and move and memory game. Players roll a colour die. The colour die lets them move to the next fruit of that colour (red = strawberry, yellow = banana etc.). But to keep their place they just rolled they must also turn over one of the 8 hidden disks in the middle of the gameboard. If the disk has the same fruit they landed one pictured they stay where they are (further ahead). If its another colour, they go back to the nearest fruit of that colour. If it's the black disk they must go back to last place. First player reaching the end of the path (coloured fruit basket) with a fruit colour rolled is the winner.
