What to Expect
You plan and mark crops on a sheet using Dice Rolling and Paper-and-Pencil mechanics, employing the traditional Three Sisters planting method (corn, beans, squash). The Harvest Edition adds a twelve-chapter campaign with new content and components that works for both group and solo play. Gameplay focuses on tile-less spatial planning and campaign-driven scenarios.
Who Is This Game For?
Aimed at medium-weight players who enjoy tactical planning in a 60-minute game session; the included Solo/Solitaire options make it suitable for solo hobbyists. Familiarity with roll-and-write conventions helps, but the core mechanics are accessible.
How It Works
The game uses Dice Rolling to generate choices you record on a paper sheet (Paper-and-Pencil). A Scenario/Campaign structure adds persistent changes across a twelve-chapter campaign, and many campaign elements can be used as modular add-ons for individual games. The campaign supports both solo and multiplayer sessions.
What Makes It Special
Designed by Adam Hill, Ben Pinchback and Matt Riddle, Harvest Edition expands the original Three Sisters concept with a dedicated twelve-part campaign. The combination of campaign mechanics and official solo rules distinguishes it within roll-and-write releases. It is presented as a standalone replacement for the original edition.

Setting & atmosphere
