Will the players have harvested all the fruit before the raven reaches the orchard?

A co-operative game for 1-6 players.

Contents: 1 wooden raven marker 1 six sided die 40 fruit cards 9 path cards 1 orchard card 6 basket card set of game instructions

In the center of the game area, arrange the nine path cards to form a straight path to the orchard card on the end. Place the wooden raven on the first card. Each player takes a basket and places it in front of them. Sort the fruit cards and place them in separate piles next to the game area.

Each player rolls the 6 sided die:

 Red, yellow, green or blue:
    Take a card showing the fruit of the corresponding color and place it on your basket. If there is no suitable fruit left, nothing happens

 The basket:
    Take any two pieces of fruit from the piles and place them in your basket.

The raven:
    The raven marker moves once space closer to the orchard.

If the players harvest all the fruits before the raven reaches the orchard, everyone wins. If the raven reaches the orchard first, everyone loses.
