Once upon a frango morango...
What you HAVE is wonky!
One Harvest Day, the farmers woke up to the strangest sight. Their fields were filled with apples and strawberries, sure, but also chickens, hay bales, and sardines? They didn’t even speak a word of English; the entire harvest was in Portuguese!
Your Wacky Crops
FRANGOS
(FRAN-GO)
Cute but incompetent and completely unprofessional. If the Harvest Company finds one of these feathery fellows working on your farm, they’ll shut you down with safety violations!
MORANGOS
(MUR-AN-GO)
Completely unpredictable. They might be sweet or they might be salty, and a bitter morango packs a real punch. Keep ‘em around if you wanna get sued for false advertising.
MAÇAS
(MUH-SAW)
Loud and dramatic. They always have to be the center of any dish. No chef can work with such a capricious ingredient. One bad maça can ruin your harvest’s entire reputation.
SARDINHA
(SAR-DEEN-YA)
These musical sardines keep the farm in tune, trading songs for crops. But miss their rhythm, and your deals might fall flat!
FRADOS
(FAR-DO)
These fardos ain’t for the horses. They’re too tough and agile. Always trying to stack up to the competition. There’s no way the Harvest Company wants something that competitive in the market.
What you WANT is wacky!
What’s an honest farmer to do with a spoiled, unruly harvest? This could cost them the farm! Lucky for them, their wacky piggies will eat anything, and I mean ANYTHING! Just win the fattest piggy contest and use the prize money to save the farm YEEEHAW! You’ll have to get to know your piggy to know what it wants.

The only thing you CAN control in this wacky wonky world is...
…how you communicate and make deals with the other farmers. To have the fattest piggy, you’ll have to trade for what it wants. Will you offer deals based on mutual benefit, or will you be a greedy piggy? Sometimes, there’s no other way but to ask for what you want; just be ready with plenty of counter-offers, or it’ll be YOUR piggy gettin’ skinny! Will you be able to rise to the cream of the wacky crop?
Connect with your desire... are you a morango-lover or a frango-phile?

Harvest Crop Cards
You’ll need plenty of crops to feed your piggy. Feed it what the die asks to win the ribbon for the fattest piggy bank. Frangos for Morangos or Maças for Tempos; you must trade your cards with other farmers to suit your Piggy’s taste.
Make an Offer
The Deal of the Day card will tell you what sort of trade you can offer. You could trade one crop for another, start a bidding war, make a lowball offer, and more. Not all deals are equal or fair, but asking is the first step towards getting what you want.
Play Your Cards
When a farmer makes you an offer, you can use your Counter Offer Cards. These allow you to change the offer on the table. You can ask for More, give Less, Change the Deal or flat out Refuse. Once the deal is accepted you must exchange your crops.
Closing Time
The Harvest Fair is open for seven days—six days for trading and one day for weighting. When the last Deal of the Day is revealed, you have one last round before counting your points. In the end, the fattest piggy gets the prize.
Unfold a world of negotiation with Frango Morango - from our farm to your gaming table.
