Fruit Boss Game Review

Peel Appeal

Weast Coast Games has quickly become one of my favorite publishers. Their catalog may not be huge, but their unique styling and approach to game mechanics makes every release feel worth a look. If you haven’t checked out their early games, hop on over to our reviews of  Desperate Oasis and Snakes of Wrath.

At PAX Unplugged, Dan Cassaro and the Weast Coast team shared a booth with Chris Couch Games, which definitely upped their presence on the floor. You could hardly walk by without noticing it—one side was fully Christmas-themed, and there was even a little photo booth with Dani Strandring drawing caricatures.

While both previous Weast Coast titles were strictly two-player, Fruit Boss expands the range to four. That’s a great move, because the mid-century Americana ad style from the earlier games is enough to pull people in, but the head-to-head format can be a turn-off for some groups.

But don’t worry—Fruit Boss keeps all the artistic charm, just with an ’80s minimalism flavor. It looks like something I’d find on a blank VHS tape cover from my childhood (and if you don’t know what I’m talking about, then I feel old).
