Product Details
🐸 HOW TO PLAY
1. Grow different varieties of chili peppers
Each turn, use your workers to plant, grow, or harvest chili peppers. There are different varieties of peppers, colors, and types, and picking the right ones at the right times is essential to fulfilling orders.
2. Move your worker with each action on the board
Move your meeple to action spaces such as the greenhouse, harvest, kitchen, market, or contract center. Each space allows you to perform specific actions: obtain seeds, harvest, cook sauces, or sign client contracts.
3. Create fire-cooked sauces: the heart of the profit
Sauces require specific types of chili peppers, both raw and cooked in pots. Having the right combination at the right time earns bonus points, salt, and better contracts, so aim to optimize your production facility.
4. Sign contracts to get victory points and multiple bonuses
During the game, contracts appear with requests for specific sauces. Delivering them earns you points, production bonuses, or monetary rewards. Knowing how to select the right contracts and fulfilling them promptly is strategic and rewarding.
5. The one who managed production and sales best wins.
The game ends when the contracts run out or the final season arrives. Points are calculated based on completed contracts, sauces cooked, and spices purchased. Whoever has successfully grown, cooked, and sold their produce wins!

Scoville 2nd Edition: Spicy Crossbreeds and Strategic Harvests
Scoville – 2nd Edition , published by Grail Games , is the new version of Ed Marriott 's classic game, now with colorblind-friendly plastic chili peppers , new graphics by Vincent Dutrait , and the Labs expansion included.
In this resource management and grid-placement board game , 1 to 6 players compete to obtain the rarest chili peppers and create increasingly rewarding recipes.
The core mechanics revolve around tactical movement on a shared pitch , where you can cross-breed basic varieties to obtain intermediate and advanced ones.
Each round is a mix of order-of-play auctions, crossover planning, and a race to sell . All this takes place in a competitive yet familiar environment, also perfect for solo play thanks to its dedicated mode.
With the right balance of accessibility and depth, Scoville is a unique experience for those who love management, agricultural tension and… the taste of victory.
We played it. And our taste buds still burn 🐸
We put on our straw hats and boots… and raised hell. 🐸
Scoville is a surprising game: behind a light and cartoonish theme hides a very tough strategic engine.
The initial auction is more subtle than it seems, the movement across the field is a calculated dance, and the satisfaction of crossing a legendary chili pepper… is priceless.
Recommended for those looking for a management game with an original twist , but also for those who want an elegant and visually stunning game .
The fact that there's also a well-thought-out solo mode makes it even more versatile. And no, you don't have to love spicy food to enjoy it... but it helps.
