A simple tile-laying game of market mastery, designed by Michael Kiesling and Wolfgang Kramer. For every business-savvy farmer in town, the local farmers market is the place to be! Stack your stall with crates of picture-perfect produce and shut your competitors out of the market. The more you stack, the more you'll sell! ​

In the Market Fresh board game, players strategically stack produce crates in their shopfront to maximize their stock—and shut competitors out of the market along the way! They earn points as they add fresh produce, but must be sure to keep an eye on the market as they go. As the competition heats up, space in the market might become scarce. Once all the crates have been placed, the player with the most points wins!
