Cinque Terre

Harvest produce, load your cart and race to sell the best goods in five sunny Italian coastal villages.

The Cinque Terre are five picturesque coastal villages in Liguria, and you are a farmer with a produce cart trying to sell the most valuable vegetables in all of them. Colored dice drawn from a cloth bag represent the produce; you harvest, load your cart and deliver to the villages with a limited number of action points per turn. Produce Order cards reward you in lire for selling specific goods in specific villages, and Fulfillment Cards track what you have sold where. Whoever earns the most lire from valuable produce, village popularity and fulfilled orders wins. A relaxed pick-up-and-deliver game about timing and sharing out the markets.

Who it's for

You like gentle pick-up-and-deliver games with a clear route puzzle, for two to five players and an hour.

Not for you if…

You want direct confrontation or a big engine to build. Competition here is about routes and orders, not combat.

Vibe's take

Sunny and brisk, with a quiet streak of rivalry. You plan a route, watch who is heading to your village and hope the dice bring the right goods.
