I dont have folk to play a board game with but a couple of things strike me
in 'the cycle begins' there are two costs for 'cut' on the chart
otherwise up to that point it makes sense to me, players seed the chart, if a player lands on seeds they can try to take an action by rolling a 2nd die
in 'the harvest' it seems like if you have landed on seeds you can leave them alone or take them but there's no description of what burn, cut or harvest mean. I assume burn destroys the seeds, cut means you can take the seeds, and harvest means you use the 'harvest' chart and gain more seeds depending on the crop, but this isn't explained.
Then it clarifies I think that once you pass 'march' you can plant new crops again
in 'the sadness' it says throw a 3rd die if you hit summer and block that many slots... the first slots ? any slots you choose ? Are any seeds on the slot destroyed ? can you block a slot with seeds on it ?
in 'the hope' you can roll a triple to unlock a single slot. In the sadness, it seems like each player is blocking 1-6 slots each time they go around the dial. That is some terrible maths :D The more players you have the harder the game is in every way (which kinda makes ecological sense but not game sense) and on average a 4 player game would block all 12 slots on the first cycle.
My guess is that its intended the sadness only happens once per cycle (i.e. the first player to trigger it rolls) but that 'the hope' happens for every player.
But still, in that case, if a player keeps rolling high to move, they could overtake the other players again before they've even gone around once.
Obviously there's a language barrier here too so I don't wanna be too critical, it's a cool idea and i think you could definitely turn this into a nice playable game with some more tweaking of the rules to be more obvious
That all said, I think this is a great use of the theme, plant in the right season, there's essentially risk built in by the dice randomness and the chance others could take your food.
You could easily make a variant with basically the same mechanics where everyone works together as the farmers for a village and people die off if you don't have enough food for them each season.
