DREADFUL MEADOWS (Retail Edition)

US$45.00
Only 50 available

Welcome to Dreadful Meadows - a land of tricks and treats, where kooky Confectioners compete to be this season's sweetest supplier!

You play a Confectioner, sowing and growing sinister seeds to create the most bountiful candy crops, through crafty candy patch placement. As rounds progress, cultivating your candy crops allows for exciting expansion and experimentation! Conjure up a crew of magic Sugar Sprites who can lend a hand with their abnormal abilities. As you prosper, summon your horrid Harvesters to intensify turnover, or utilize your Candy to discover new Concoctions.

Each game is unique through your choice of Confectioner and the strategies you utilize. Actions and patch varieties are limited, so your success in the meadow will rely on calculated decisions in the expansion of your meadow, the concoctions you create, and how you utilize your Sugar Sprites and Harvesters.

Will your Dreadful Meadow be an abomination, or this season's sweetest sensation?

  • EASY TO LEARN, SATISFYING TO MASTER - Four streamlined actions per turn means you’re playing (not flipping through a rulebook).

  • STRATEGIC DEPTH, MADE SIMPLE - Build combos, optimize your harvest engine, and outwit rival Confectioners.

  • HIGH REPLAYABILITY, ENDLESS VARIETY - Variable player powers, patch tiles, and concoction cards keep every game fresh and unpredictable.

  • FAST TURNS, SMOOTH FLOW - No long downtimes or waiting around – just snappy decisions and candy-fueled momentum.

PLAYER INFO: Player Count: 1-4 || Time: 45min+ || Ages: 13+

GAME DESIGN: Lukus Adam

MECHANICS: Tile Placement | Engine Building | Worker Placement

Edition Information - The components of this edition can be upgraded with The Acrylic Harvesters, The Deluxe Wooden ‘Candy’ Pieces, and The Base Game Deluxe Confectioner Boards.
