Not all seeds are good, so be careful what you sow! In Pumpkin Patch: Bad Seeds, players will compete to harvest seeds from burgeoning pumpkin patch filled with ugly, scary, and horrifically creepy pumpkins. Pumpkin Patch: Bad Seeds is a game of pumpkin planting, crow scaring, and tile laying for 1-3 players. Each round, players must choose which type of pumpkin to plant in order to help grow the budding pumpkin patch. Each pumpkin planted grants the players victory seeds. The goal of the game is to collect as many seeds as possible before the final pumpkin is planted. Players will use Baby Boos, Blazes, and Warty Goblins to collect seeds and thwart their opponents efforts to do the same! How to Play: In Pumpkin Patch, players take turns planting pumpkins in a race to collect pumpkin seeds! There are three stages to each turn: 1. Play a card from your hand or the compost to collect seeds. 2. Move a crow to block other players. 3. Discard any number of cards. Refill your hand. Once the largest pumpkin in the patch has been planted, your ghastly garden is complete! —description from the publisher
