A Reiner Knizia game – Harvest the ripe fruit and rush to the trading post before the cheeky gorilla chases you down & steals your haul.
Fruit Island is a fast, easy to learn board game designed by legendary game designer Reiner Knizia.
On a lush tropical island bursting with ripe fruit, clever monkeys race from tree to tree, harvesting as much as they can before the island’s biggest appetite wakes up – a mischievous, fruit-loving gorilla who loves to cause chaos.
Timing is everything: grab fruit at the right moment, avoid the gorilla’s path, and dash to the trading post to safely bank your harvest before it’s stolen away.
