Rosendorn & Apfelbl te invites players into the orchards and rose fields of Meckenheim, where roses and apple trees bloom side by side, bees buzz around their hives, field animals scurry through the rows, and colorful tractors keep the plantations thriving. Every card you place grows your plantation, but harmony is delicate — roses need apple trees, hares seek out hedgehogs, and bees are happiest near their hives. Only those who balance beauty and harmony will see their fields flourish. In this drafting and card-laying game, players select Rose Thorn and Apple Blossom cards over 12 rounds and arrange them in a personal 6 6 grid. Placement is restricted: the two card types must alternate, never touching the same kind orthogonally. Scoring is based on clever combinations — roses next to matching apple trees, beehives aligned with bees, hares paired with hedgehogs, tractors collected in sets, and crates filled with fruit scored for each same-color apple tree in their row or column. After the final round, the scores are tallied, and the player with the most points claims victory as the master farmer of Meckenheim.
