It's sugaring season on the Canadian Shield! Tap trees, boil sap into syrup and develop your tiny acreage into the finest maple farm in the province. Bound by the code of neighbourly conduct, the actions you take will also help your opponent but at the end of the season, there can only be one Master of Maple Syrup.

In Masters of Maple Syrup, players develop their property tableaus by adding trees to harvest sap from and utilities to improve their syrup production. On their turn, the active player determines the action both players will take, with a slight advantage in their favour.

The game ends at the end of a round where any player has placed 10 cards on their property (tableau). Scores are tallied from the value of cards on each players’ properties and any additional scoring bonuses the cards offer. The player with the highest value on their property wins.

Time your actions and develop a property to best benefit from your neighbour's actions in a cozy cabin game for two.
