Task of the game is to harvest all the trees along empty before the raven comes. There are a relatively large cube with 4 swatches (1 for each variety: yellow = pear, apple green = blue = plum or cherry red =), a dice box shows the fruit basket and a raven. If a color is diced so takes the player is off, the appropriate type of fruit away and puts it in his basket. When diced fruit basket image is allowed to choose a variety, and unless the raven is rolled, then the image of the raven is completed progressively by the nine Rabe cards. If the Raven is ready assembled before all fruit was harvested from the trees, so all players have lost together (and the raven won). Manage the players but, all the trees to reap empty before all nine Rabe cards are, so the players have all won together.
The quality is good. At the price we must expect the same. The individual fruit pieces are made of wood, the Cube also, the Schedule and the card sturdy cardboard. The braided fruit basket could perhaps be a little more robust, but basically they are anyway hardly necessary for the game.
For my twins this was the age of three (along with "Tempo, little snail), the first introduction to the world of board games beginning they share enjoyed playing now -. Two years later - the game will only rarely herausgekramt because it almost Five-year-old just yet a few more exciting games are. The children learn to "orchard" in particular the rule to be "their turn" and generally adhere to rules of the game. Of course, the use of four colors is red, blue, green and yellow strengthened. In addition, the children learn through the reinforced "we-feeling" that it is not bad to lose sometimes.
As an introduction to the world of board games just perfect, from five years gradually less interesting because it is then knitted too simple for this age group.
