DELICIOUS
Veg out and get fruity
Designer: Steve Finn & Eduardo Baraf | Publisher: Pencil First Games
Designer Steve Finn likes to keep it chill. With previous titles, he’s invited players to plant herbs (Herbaceous), arrange flowers (Floriferous), paint a landscape (Sunset Over Water) or arrange fancy knick-knacks (The Whatnot Cabinet). Finn’s latest game follows in the green-fingered (or should that be green-toed?) footsteps of Herbaceous, except this time it’s fruit and veg you’re growing rather than tasty weeds. In terms of mechanisms, however, this is quite a different kettle of broccoli. Rather than being a push-your-luck set-collecting card game, Delicious is a flip-and-write affair; a puzzley experience with a dash of artiness.
