Get your peppers in Scoville!
Wilbur Scoville in 1912 developed the Scoville test, which is still used today to measure the heat of chili peppers. And according to the Scoville board game, the town of Scoville was founded in honor of Wilbur Scoville. Each year the residents gather to host the Chili Pepper Festival, and the grower who plants and breeds the most heat from their peppers will win the trophy.
Scoville is a 2-6 player game that plays for about 60 to 90 minutes. I first saw buzz about the game some time at the end of last year on social media. What really drew me in was the great looking components from the game. It comes with 134 pepper pieces in 10 different colors! Yes, I’m a total sucker for cute thematic pieces in well-developed board game. In addition to the peppers, the game also comes with 6 farmer meeples (also very cool), auction cards, market cards, recipe cards, plaques, coins, bonus action tiles and breeding charts.
