No one knows when the giant fruits started growing, but everyone agrees they make a legendary punch. Become the head of one of four factions, orange, lemon, grape, or strawberry, and lead a band of rollicking revelers to victory.

When life gives you giant fruit, make giant punch.

No one knows when the giant fruits started growing, but everyone agrees they make a legendary punch. Choose one of four factions—orange, lemon, grape, or strawberry—and lead a band of rollicking revelers in this competitive punch-making game. 

Use your diminishing deck of actions to compete over three massive bowls of punch. Add fruits to bowls, fish out those of your opponents, trade with the orchard, and set special ingredients to tip the balance. When the punch serves, the player who added the most desired ingredients wins the punch and gets to add the lion's share to their punch cup. Can you fill your cup with punch and claim victory?

Learn to play Punch Bowl in just 7 minutes with our homemade, stop motion animation instructional video! Or check out the quick overview below.

Everyone starts the game with the same deck of 12 cards. Each round, draw three cards. Choose one to remove from your deck, one to keep for later, and one to play. Curate your diminishing deck of actions skillfully to prepare for future turns.

Play cards to add fruit from your supply to your quadrant of the three punches in the center. Each punch will have at least one special ingredient—a type of fruit marked with a gold ring that is worth double all other fruits in the punch. To win a punch, make sure to add a lot of special ingredients.

Your cards also let you take additional actions, like stealing from other players, trading with the orchard, and changing the special ingredients in a punch.

At the end of each round, roll the serving die to add a ladle to a punch. If it already has one, the punch is served. The player with the highest value of fruit in their quadrant wins the punch and gets to add fruit to their cup. You never know exactly when a punch is going to serve, but you want to be ahead when it does.

Earn ice cubes and seltzers for winning various bonuses. Each fruit or ice cube in your cup is worth 1 point at the end of the game and seltzers are worth 2 points.

Fruits and seltzers left in your supply are worth negative points at the end of the game, so make sure to get rid of them!

The game ends when a player runs out of fruit or you can’t draw three cards at the start of the round. Serve all remaining punches, then clink your cups and count your score. Cheers! 

Take on the spirits of the punch, your mighty opponents. After taking your normal turn each round, flip a card from the spirit deck and withstand an onslaught of powerful actions as the spirit tries to beat you in each punch. 

At the end of the game, subtract the spirit's winnings from your score. If your final score is ten or more, you win! Play again and try to beat your score, or take on a higher level spirit for a greater challenge.

As you move through the levels, the spirits will accumulate devastating abilities that will force you to develop new strategies. Defeat all the spirits to become the undisputed champion of the punch!

Compete with the other factions to bring the most desired ingredients to three massive punch bowls before they're served. Fish out your opponents' fruits, add droves of your own, and introduce special ingredients to tip the balance. When each punch is served, the winner adds some to their punch cup, along with coveted ice cubes for varying bonuses.

Punch Bowl includes elements of area control, as well as a unique deck-curation mechanism in which players manage an ever-diminishing deck. Outmaneuver your opponents to win eternal glory and an overflowing cup of punch!
