" A game based on the ballad by Theodor Fontane. The garden is set up and the pears are distributed, depending on the number of players pears are put onto the tree, always at one side, or a player hands on pears to be put up. Pears must be taken with one hand and always from the same side, and be put onto a branch of the three. Depending on the variant, one harvests pears that fall from the unused side, and may keep them or give them away. The player with the most valuable pears after a preset number of rounds wins the game. Ballad printed in the rules.
