Limited time only! A great game to add to your collection!
Hilltop Harvest is an autumn themed set-collection card game for 2–6 players. Gather fall favorites such as apples, treats, cider, and pies as you compete to collect the most valuable harvest before the season ends!
Take turns drawing cards from a shared, open market called The Orchard, collecting valuable cards and completing sets to maximize your score at the end of the game. When a player ends their turn with 14 or more cards, one final round is played before everyone tallies their harvest!
Hilltop Harvest is easy to learn and fun for both causal and hobbyist gamers alike. Action Cards let you trade with opponents, improve your sets, and get more out of each turn. These choices, combined with a wide variety of card types, add depth and replayability without making the game complicated.
Gather your favorite fall treats, make every card count, and see who comes out on top!
*The game rules are located on the box itself. Two additional reference cards are available as well. Watch the How to play video on YouTube! (see below)

FAQ:
Q: What is “The Orchard” and when do I backfill it?
The Orchard consists of the deck and six face-up cards (as shown in the setup diagram). There must always be six face-up cards in The Orchard. Whenever a face-up card is removed from this area, whether drawn or discarded, immediately replace it with a new card from the deck (before playing an Action Card or drawing another card). The discard pile, while in the same area, is NOT considered “The Orchard”. Do not draw cards from the discard pile.
Q: How does the Covered Crate ability work?
Draw 3 cards from the deck and look at them. Choose 1 card to keep and place it face-down in your play area. Discard the other 2 cards. The card you keep does not have to remain face-down. You may reveal it at any time. If another player takes this card using the Quick Trade Action Card, the new owner may choose to keep it face-down or reveal it.
Q: What counts as a “unique card” for the Truck Load card?
“Unique cards” means different individual card types. Exact duplicates count as only 1 unique card.
For example, 3 Pecan Pie cards count as 1 unique card. However, a $2 Blossoms card and a $3 Blossoms card count as 2 unique cards because they are different cards.
Rule of thumb: If the cards are exact duplicates, group them together and count them once. If the cards are different in any way, each counts as a unique card.
Q: If a non-action card (ex: Pumpkin) has an ability, does using that ability count as my draw or Action Card for the turn?
No. If a card—such as a Fuzzy Sock or Pumpkin—has an ability, using it does not count as your normal draw or your Action Card for the turn. Consider it a free action.
Q: Can I look at or draw from the faceup Discard Pile?
Players may look at the discard pile during their turns. Players cannot draw from the Discard Pile. However, there are some Action Cards that allow players to exchange a card with one from the Discard Pile.
Add-on FAQ:
Q: When can I use my Pumpkin’s ability? Can I discard more than one Pumpkin per turn?
You may discard one or more Pumpkins at any time during your turn. For example, if you have two Pumpkin Cards, you can discard both to draw two face-up cards from The Orchard.
Q: How do the Knitted Goods work?
Once per turn, you may look at the top cards of the deck equal to the number of unique Knitted Goods you have. You may rearrange these cards in any order before placing them back on top of the deck. You may still take your normal draw afterward if you haven't already.
Examples:
Two Beanies: You have only one unique Knitted Good, so you may look at the top 1 card.
One Beanie and one Sweater: You have two unique Knitted Goods, so you may look at the top 2 cards and rearrange their order before returning them to the deck. If you haven't taken your normal draw, you may then draw from the top of the deck.
Knitted Goods provide powerful abilities, which is why they have low point values and only two copies of each type are included in the deck.
