Objective

Plant trees in different regions of the world to create the most valuable ecosystems. The player with the most victory points from planted trees, regional majorities, and completed bonus cards wins the game.

Card Reference

  • Tree Cards: Feature a tree species, a point value, and a specific region (color) where they must be planted.
  • Bonus Cards: Provide extra points for specific combinations at the end of the game.
  • Regions: There are 5 different regions (colors). Each region is scored separately at the end for players holding the most trees there.

Gameplay

The game is played over several rounds. On your turn, you must perform exactly one of the following two actions:

  1. Draw Trees:
    • Take 2 cards from the draw pile or the face-up display.
    • Hand limit is 7 cards. Any excess cards must be discarded immediately.
  2. Plant Trees:
    • Play one or more cards of the same region (color) from your hand face-up in front of you.
    • Planting is free, but you can only plant trees of a single region per action.
    • Effect: Some trees have immediate effects (e.g., draw an extra card or block an opponent's card) that trigger when planted.

Game End

The game ends immediately when the draw pile is exhausted or a player has planted a specific number of trees (depending on the player count).

Scoring

  • Tree Points: Sum the victory points printed on all your planted cards.
  • Regional Majority: In each of the 5 regions, the player with the most cards receives bonus points (ties result in split points).
  • Bonus Cards: Check if you have fulfilled the conditions of your secret or public bonus cards.
  • The player with the highest total score wins.
