About this game

Banana Magnate is a chill, slightly twisted economic card game for 2–4 players, where you run your own banana plantation… and make sure your rivals regret ever planting anything. Build stuff, upgrade it, harvest your sweet yellow goods, and scrump like there’s no tomorrow. Oh yeah — and then scrump even more.. What’s inside this fruity madness: A banana-oriented economy that’s easy to pick up and oddly satisfying. Your very own banana plantation — totally wacky and different every single time. 12 eccentric characters with wild abilities, all fighting for the title of Banana Magnate. Sabotaging your neighbors? 100% socially acceptable here. A goofy, cartoonish vibe that makes everything feel light and fun — even when you’re being robbed blind. “scrump”, in game dev lingo, means sneakily “borrowing” someone’s crops — without asking, without telling, and definitely without giving them back. Ever. —description from the publisher
