Overview

The game is played over 14 Rounds (5 in Spring, 4 in Summer, 3 in Autumn, 2 in Winter)

The Draft

Draft a Biome card from cards equal to the number of players + 1

The first player, after picking their card, places the first player marker on the leftmost card so whoever picks this card becomes the new first player

The unchosen card may have an icon at the top:

Fertility (Flower) : Place the card in the Fertility Zone matching its Biome, the total icons show that Biome's fertility value

Aridity (Skull) : Flip the most recent card in the Fertility zone matching its Biome so the icons it provided are removed, then add the Aridity card to the Fertility Zone of that Biome

No icon : Discard the card

Actions

Each turn take one action

The Actions can be reduced to either: Place a Sprout Treeple, Change a Sprout Treeple to a Small Tree, Change a Small Tree to a Big Tree

Specifically, there are 4 versions of these actions, 3 of which take place in spaces belonging to the card's Biome:

1) Plant up to 3 Sprout Treeples

2) Change a Spourt Treeple to a Small Tree OR change a Small Tree to a Big Tree in 2 separate spaces

3 ) plant a Sprout Treeple in one space then, in a different space, either change a Sprout Treeple to a Small Tree OR change a Small Tree to a Big Tree

4 ) Plant a Sprout Treeple OR either change a Sprout Treeple to a Small Tree OR change a Small Tree to a Big Tree in any space not restricted to the card's Biome

Powers

Each card has a power you can use on your turn

Powers can be used before or after Actions, but not between an Action i.e. no interrupts

Powers are NOT restricted by the card's Biome

When a power is played, increase your level in that power by 1

Your new power level is how many times you can act on that power, e.g. a power level of 2 will let you perform the power twice

The 6 powers are:

1) Place 1 Sprout Treeple

2) Change a Sprout Treeple to a Small Tree

3) Change a Small Tree to a Big Tree

4) Place 1 Bush

5) Place 1 Lake then change a Sprout Treeple to a Small Tree or a Small Tree to a Big Tree on 2 separate spaces adjacent to the just placed Lake

6) Gain Points equal to your Power Level in Buds

End of Round

A normal End of Round goes back to Draft and repeats the above

In the 5th, 9th, 12th, & 14th Rounds there is also an End of Season
