A terrifying legacy
THE HORT FAMILY
Cultivate terror and conquer Grandma Ghost's farm.
The old family farm hides dark secrets that only bloom under the light of the full moon. Your grandmother, now a mischievous specter, has decided to leave her coveted lands only to the grandson who proves himself the best farmer in the supernatural.
It's a gothic farming and management board game that plunges you into a ruthless competition between inbreds. From monstrous vegetables to enchanted fertilizers, you'll have to prove you have the darkest green thumb in the dynasty to earn the precious inheritance.
It's not enough to plant seeds haphazardly in damp soil. The seasons are short, and creatures of the night are always ready to infest your fields if you don't use the right countermeasures, a pinch of cunning, and a lot of ruthless determination against your brothers.
It's the game for those who love gothic atmospheres, family betrayals and the sublime satisfaction of watching your opponent's precious harvest wither miserably under the hail.
Why THE HORT FAMILY gets stuck in your head
Feel the thrill of having to please a demanding ghost with every profitable harvest.
Grow scary flora that requires special care, unique fertilizers, and a lot of courage.
Watch the sky darken and protect your crops before the supernatural storm destroys them.
Sell your monster vegetables to the highest bidder to rack up some hard-earned gold.
Use mysterious potions to accelerate your growth and outsmart your slow-moving cousins.
Put a spoke in the wheels of the other heirs and laugh sadistically at their peasant misfortunes.

Markets and spells
The Harvest of Fear
Sow with cunning, sell with greed.
The fertile and mysterious soil adjacent to the cemetery provides the perfect breeding ground for your unique crops. But each round is a frantic race against time and the limited resources available to you at the village's quirky market.
You must decide whether to invest in cheap, slow-growing seeds or risk it all on exotic, ephemeral plants worth a fortune. Magic water is expensive, and your opponents are always ready to steal your best customers right from under your nose.
When you finally see your giant mandrake or werewolf squash bloom and you collect a real treasure at the city market, the feeling of supremacy over the whole family is simply indescribable.
Where it rewards you
Find the perfect seed at the market stall before your rivals get their hands on it.
Use witch irrigation extremely sparingly to allow only the most valuable crops to flourish.
Align your vegetable ripenings for simultaneous cash-in and an all-time record-breaking round.
Build demonic scarecrows to keep deadly crows and harsh weather away from your fields.
Use the phases of the moon to your advantage to speed up seemingly unmanageable harvests.
You smile arrogantly as the ghost grandmother proudly hands you the keys to the estate.
Where it tests you
Managing a spooky farm isn't for the faint of heart or the faint of mind. This board game forces you to constantly balance risky investments and agricultural safety to gain the upper hand over your opponents. You'll need to optimize your space and accumulate wealth, making this a truly challenging farm management experience. Every move in this gothic world brings you closer to your coveted victory.
