In the ’50s, a small town in the US was famous for its fruit trees. Local small businesses were competing against each other, producing ever better jams, which in turn made the town grow more and more famous. Every year after the Christmas party the most succesful entrepreneur was given a prize: will you manage to win the prize this year?

In Frutticola players will take on the role of business leaders specialized in growing and selling fruits and jams, trying to become the most rich in town by the end of the year! With just a few Workers and Farmers, you’ll have to choose when to send them to the orchards and when to buy pesticides, fertilizers and other items in the shops. Who will prove to be the best entrepreneur?
