Description
Number of Players: 1-4
Playing Time: 30-60 Minutes
Recommended Ages: 14+
Three Sisters is a strategic roll-and-write game about backyard farming. Three Sisters is named after an indigenous agricultural technique still widely used today in which three different crops — in this case, pumpkins, corn, and beans — are planted close together. Corn provides a lattice for beans to climb, the beans bring nitrogen from the air into the soil, and the squash provides a natural mulch ground cover to reduce weeds and keep pests away.
In the game, you have your own player sheet with multiple areas: the garden, which is divided into six numbered zones, each containing the three crop types; the apiary; compost; perennials; goods; fruit; and the shed, which is filled with tools that have special abilities. All the crops, fruits, flowers, and hives are represented by tracks that you will mark off as you acquire these items. Many of the tracks are interconnected with other elements in the game, giving you bonuses along the way. A common feature of these tracks are circles that represent a harvest, which generates goods; get enough goods, and you unlock bonus actions. Advancing on all of these tracks offers various amounts of points, advancements, and bonuses.
The game lasts eight rounds. Each round, roll dice based on the number of players, group them by number, then place them on an action space of the circular action wheel, starting with the current position of the farmer; the farmer moves each round, which means that dice showing 1s, 2s, etc. will end up on different spaces each round. Once the dice have been placed, each player drafts one die and uses it as described below. Once everyone has drafted a die, all players get to use the lowest-valued die remaining on the action wheel. A die lets you do two things, which you can do in either order:
Three Sisters has a solo mode in which you try to top your own score against an "opponent" that drafts dice and blocks areas of your sheet.

A die lets you do two things, which you can do in either order:
- Plant or water the numbered zone matching the value of the die.
- Take the action of the space from which you removed the die.
- Plant or water again in the same numbered zone.
- Gain one compost (which lets you adjust die values) and four goods (which will get you bonuses at the farmer's market).
- Mark off the hive track, which can bring you points, goods, or bonus actions.
- Mark one of the four fruit tracks. Each fruit is worth different points and different amounts of goods and has different track lengths and circle positions.
- Visit the farmer's market, which gives you points and bonuses based on the number of goods you've collected.
- Mark one of the fifteen tool tracks in your shed. As soon as you complete a track, you gain that power or end-game scoring opportunity.
- Perennials don't have a direct action associated with them and are marked off only through actions in other areas, with the various perennials giving different bonuses as you mark them.
Three Sisters has a solo mode in which you try to top your own score against an "opponent" that drafts dice and blocks areas of your sheet.

Un très bon Roll and write | |
Ce jeu est un très bon Roll and write. Il n’est pas simple, mais il n’est pas aussi complexe qu’Hardrian’s wall. Recommandé. |

Bon choix, même s'il n'est pas le meilleur du genre | |
Bon jeu de catégorie "Roll and write". Three Sisters offre une bonne rejouabilité avec plusieurs choix à faire au courant de la partie et multiples stratégies viables. Bon rapport qualité-prix pour l'amusement qu'il peut offrir. La thématique est peu commune et agréable. Si le genre vous intéresse et que vous n'avez pas peur d'augmenter la complexité un peu, je recommencerais plutôt "Twilight Inscription". |

Jeu amusant et facile à amener à la table | |
Ce roll-and-write est une super introduction au genre de jeu. Il est très simple à comprendre, appréciable dès la première partie et la thématique est très amusante. |
