Welcome to Dreadful Meadows - a land of tricks and treats, where kooky Confectioners compete to be this season's sweetest supplier!

You play a Confectioner, sowing and growing sinister seeds to create the most bountiful candy crops, through crafty candy patch placement. As rounds progress, cultivating your candy crops allows for exciting expansion and experimentation! Conjure up a crew of magic Sugar Sprites who can lend a hand with their abnormal abilities. As you prosper, summon your horrid Harvesters to intensify turnover, or utilize your Candy to discover new Concoctions.

Each game is unique through your choice of Confectioner and the strategies you utilize. Actions and patch varieties are limited, so your success in the meadow will rely on calculated decisions in the expansion of your meadow, the concoctions you create, and how you utilize your Sugar Sprites and Harvesters.

Will your Dreadful Meadow be an abomination, or this season's sweetest sensation?

1. 1 SLUG & THE PILFERING PATCH

Don’t let that sweet smile and baritone sounding “HAAAY THERE!” deceive you, Slug is loyal to no single Confectioner. They swiftly becomes a sneaky sidekick, acting as a Sugar Sprite on your behalf in the patches of an opponent. Candy stolen by Slug is placed and protected in the fenced Private Patch for the contracting Confectioner to use as they please. Once their dirty work is done, Slug will become available to all again. This time around, it may be you who require Slug's services…*evil laughter*.

Mode Gameplay Summary: By placing Slug on a Meadow owned by an opponent, you will generate Candylike Sugar Sprites) but you keep this Candy.

So you thought your concoctions were the best thing since sliced bubble gum?! Well don’t get ahead of yourself, that’s up to Cornelia Candy Critic to decide. As your fellow Confectioners complete their Concoction Cards they will draw one of the Candy Critic Cards to unleash her judgment on you. But don’t worry, like all great candy critics before her, she can be bribed to give you a “YUM!” seal of approval.

Mode Gameplay Summary: When you finish a concoction card, you will get to draw a Candy Critic card which you must give to an opponent.

1. 3 - TRICKS FOR TREATS PATCHES

Rumor has it, things have gone from dreadful to borderline criminal in these meadows!

Just make sure you time it right, or the other Confectioners may clear their crops before you arrive!

1. 4 - SINISTER SEED SILO-

Not all seed deliveries arrive in sacks! Here in Dreadful Meadows our Igor Industry Silo’s doing the heavy lifting.
For human eyes, the silo also functions as a great visual guide for anticipating the game's end, and as such, it may help to improve their strategy. Concoction cards may also be slipped into the storage slot under the silo for safe dispensing. Don’t let those claws scare you - WORK SAFELY AND SUGAR-FILLED has recently reported that in 2022 there have been no Sugar Sprite related injuries.

Component Addition Summary: You can use this to store and distribute the Patch Tiles during the game. It is a great addition as it is much easier to see the stack depleting as the game progresses.
