About this game
A thirteen-pocket orchard wheel with one change to roulette: before every spin you may graft a tile onto a pocket. Sun doubles outside wins, Root returns a losing stake, Lode drags the ball three times as often, and Ember pays a flat bonus before burning its pocket to ash.
How it works
Tiles are permanent, cost chips and upkeep, and blight the bare pockets beside them, so an over-built wheel stops paying. Reach a thousand chips within twenty spins to bring the harvest in. Chips are a score: there is no money in this game and nothing to buy. Sound and your best season stay in this browser when storage is available.
