Dreadful Meadows Tricks for Treats

For confectioners with a taste for the salty side! This game offers 3 interchangeable game modes that will bring chaos to those brave enough to play. Suitable for 2 - 4 players. 1. SLUG & THE PILFERING PATCH: Don't be fooled by Slug's sweet smile. This sneaky sidekick can act as a Sugar Sprite in an opponent's patches. The candy stolen by Slug goes into a fenced Private Patch for you to use. Once done, Slug is available to all. Place Slug on an opponent's Meadow to generate candy (like Sugar Sprites) and keep it. Comes with 1 Slug Standee and 1 Pilfering Patch (punch board fenced patch section). 2. CANDY CRITIC CARDS: Think your candy concoctions are the best? Let Cornelia Candy Critic decide. When your fellow confectioners finish their Concoction Cards, they draw a Candy Critic Card to judge you. But you can bribe her for a 'YUM!' seal of approval. Includes 18 Candy Critic Cards. 3. TRICKS FOR TREATS PATCHES: Rumor has it, the meadows are full of mischief. Each player starts with an extra patch to steal a candy crop from a fellow confectioner. Your theft is revealed when you retrieve an adjacent Sugar Sprite. You can pick from any patch in any Meadow, but time it right! Comes with 4 Tricks for Treats Patch Tiles. 4. SINISTER SEED SILO: Not all seeds come in sacks. The Igor Industry Silo in Dreadful Meadows does the heavy lifting. It's also a visual guide for the game's end and helps with strategy. You can store Concoction cards in the slot under it. There have been no Sugar Sprite - related injuries in 2022. Use it to store and distribute Patch Tiles during the game. It's easy to see the stack deplete as the game goes on. Includes 1 Card Silo Patch Tower (Tile Tower).
