ADDED SUMMER VARIANT AND SOLO RULES

	The written values are not points. It's always 1 point per card!		The written values are not points. It's always 1 point per card!


			== SUMMER VARIANT ==

			Each player receives a plain purple start card in their garden instead of beginning the game with a random flower. During the final scoring you will only score for color groups that connect to the purple start card. You may never cover the purple card.


			== SOLO MODE ==

			All placement and scoring rules are the same. You have 2 draw stacks to take from - one face-up and one face-down. After you take a card (from either stack) and plant it in your garden, the top card of the face-up stack is discarded. The game ends immediately once 1 of the stacks is empty.

			Score:

			10 points or less = Beginner

			11-17 points = Apprentice

			18-25 points = Expert

			26+ points = Master

			EACH WEEK YOUR SCORES IN SOLO MODE WILL BE AVERAGED AND POSTED TO THE WEEKLY FLOWERS LEADERBOARD.

	~~== Materials ==~~		There are 108 cards, 27 in each of 4 colors: Yellow, red, blue, green. Cards are numbered 1, 2, 3 or 4 in each color.

	** Number 4: 10 cards per color, three of which have a butterfly ~~(see below)~~

	* 4 starting ‘’violet’’ cards ~~for the « Summer » variant~~		The game begins with 2 or 3 stacks of randomly-shuffled cards, based on the number of players, and 1 random flower card to get each player started. One stack remains facedown, while the top card of the other stacks is flipped up.
	* A scorebook
	* 1 template card for forming stacks based on the number of players:
	** 1 player~~: about 40 cards per~~ stack
	** 2 players: about 26 cards per stack
	** 3 players: about 30 cards per stack
	** 4 players: no template, ~~all cards~~

	~~== Setup ==~~

	~~Each person randomly selects a card and places it in their~~ play ~~area, face up. Create three decks by making three identical (or nearly identical) stacks.~~		== Game play ==

	~~For 2 or 3 players, use~~ the ~~appropriate templates~~.		1. Pick a card from one of the stacks.

	~~For 4 players, there is no template; use all~~ the ~~cards in the game.~~		2. Place the card either

	~~Flip the top~~ card ~~from two of the three decks~~.		* Next to a card already played, touching on at least 1 edge.

	~~One deck remains face down.~~		-OR-

	~~Designate the player who starts the game~~.		* On top of a card already played.

	~~== Game play ==~~

	~~FLOWERS is played~~ in ~~turns in a clockwise direction~~.		Always bear in mind that only color groups of 5 will score points at the end and incomplete number groups will cost you points.

	~~On their turn,~~ the ~~player draws a card and places it in their play area~~.		~ COLOR GROUPS are 5+ adjacent cards of the same color.

	~~=== 1~~. ~~Pick a~~ card ~~===~~		~ NUMBER GROUPS are cards of the same number, regardless of color. A number group is complete when it contains EXACTLY the same number of cards as the card value - no more, no less. There must be:

	~~The player, whose turn it is, draws a card of their choice from the top of one of the three stacks.~~		~ Four '4's

	~~They can draw either one of the two face-up cards or the one face-down. If it~~'s ~~a face-up card, the next player turns over a new card on that stack so that there are always two visible cards and one hidden.~~		~ Three '3's

	~~Note that the face-down stack remains hidden until the end of the game.~~		~ Two '2's

	~~=== 2. Place ===~~		~ One '1'
	~~The player places the card in their play area:~~

	* either next to a card already played (touching on at least 1 side)
	* or on top of a card already played to cover it.

	== End of the game ==		== End of the game ==
	~~When a player draws the last card from one of the 3 stacks, they finish their turn by placing that card.~~

	~~The~~ game ends immediately~~, and the scoring phase begins~~.		When a player draws the last card from one of the 3 stacks, they finish their turn then the game ends immediately. Each player's flower garden is now scored.


	== Scoring ==		== Scoring ==
	~~=== 1. Discarded cards ===~~
	~~First you must have formed valid groups of cards by adhering to these conditions:~~

	* A '4' ~~must be part of~~ a group ~~of exactly four '4's~~.		1. First, you must remove all cards from your garden that don't form a perfect <strong>number</strong> group. LOSE 1 POINT PER CARD REMOVED.
	* A '3' must be part of a group of ~~exactly three '3~~'s.
	* A '2' must be part of ~~a group of exactly two '2~~'s.		~ EXAMPLE: you started a group of 4's, but only planted three of the 4's. You must remove the three you planted - the whole group.
	* A '1' must ~~not be adjacent to another '1' and thus forms a~~ group ~~of one '1'~~.

	~~Cards which do not adhere to these conditions~~ are ~~discarded and may not score victory points or butterfly points; covered cards are also discarded~~.		~ EXAMPLE: you planted a group of 3's but there are five 3's instead of three 3's. You must remove ALL five of the threes - the whole group.

	~~Each discarded card results in~~ a ~~loss~~ of one ~~point~~.		~ EXAMPLE: you planted a 2 on top of a 4, hoping to finish the 2's before the end of the game, but you didn't finish it - there's only one 2. You must remove the 2 AND THE CARD BELOW IT.

	Note: You can not arrange adjacent groups of the same number. For example, four adjacent cards with '2' do not form two groups of '2'. All four cards will be discarded. Same for two adjacent cards of '1'.

	~~===~~ 2. ~~Victory points ===~~		2. Score 1 point for each card in a <strong>color</strong> group of 5+. You only score visible cards - covered cards do not score points.
	~~For~~ each color ~~family with a minimum~~ of 5 ~~adjacent~~ cards, score ~~1 point per visible card~~.

	~~===~~ 3. ~~Butterflies ===~~		3. Gain 1 point per Butterfly adjacent to a card that's the same color as the butterfly.
	~~For each butterfly~~ adjacent to a card ~~of its~~ color~~, score one~~ point ~~per visible~~ butterfly.
			~ Example: 1 point if the green butterfly (on a yellow card) is adjacent to a green card.

	~~Example: 1 point if the green butterfly on yellow '4' is adjacent to any green card.~~

	'''IMPORTANT :'''		'''IMPORTANT :'''

	~~Covered cards do not count for scoring points; however, they count as -1 per card when discarded along with the one on top.~~
