Sure! Farming is a simple and fun action that involves two steps:
Step 1: Planting the Seeds of Choice
Choose a crop from your inventory and write it down on your Island Estate Sheet. Look up the Crop Oraclopedia to find out the “Time to Harvest” for your crop. This is the “Maturity Duration” of your seeds, which tells you how many days you have to wait before you can harvest them. You can also use the Custom Seed Action to create your own seeds with different characteristics. Write down the Maturity Duration on your Island Estate Sheet as well. Example: If you plant a crop with a Maturity Duration of 1 day, you can harvest it the next day. If you plant a crop with a Maturity Duration of 3 days, you have to wait for 3 days.
Step 2: Going through the Fate Step
Draw a card from the deck and see what happens to your crop. The card will either increase or decrease your Time to Harvest and the value of your crop. For example, your Fate Step result shorten your Time to Harvest by one day and make your crop more valuable. For example, your Fate Step results in a +1 Day to the “Time to Harvest”, and maybe even reduced the worth of the crop. You can envision it as: “Pest Attack” that lengthen your Time to Harvest by one day and make your crop less valuable.
Once you’ve planted the crop, you can continue to do other actions until your Time to Harvest reaches zero. Then you can harvest your crop by adding it to your inventory.
