Overview

Turn

On your turn you have two options

You can draw two cards, each either from the clearing or the deck

Alternatively, you can play a card, pay its cost, carry out its effect, then check the clearing for need of clearing

You have a hand limit of 10 cards, so you can't take the draw action if you have 10, but may take it if you have 9 but can only draw 1 card

Winter

There are 3 Winter cards in the deck in the final third

When you draw a Winter card, put it aside and draw a proper card

When there are 3 Winter cards out, the game ends

Cards

There are two types of cards, Trees and Creatures

Trees have a single Tree on them and are played in just one way

Creatures have two creatures on them and are played as ONE of the two creatures

Regardless of which, to play a card you must discard other hand cards equal to the cost in the top left (some cards give bonuses if you use certain cards to pay for them)

You must have an empty tree in order to play creature cards as creature cards are slotted around available trees e.g. a left orientated animal will go to the left of a tree, no vacant left tree space then cannot play the animal

Each time you play a tree, a card from the deck is revealed into the Clearing

If you're struggling for trees, any card can be played face down to make a Sapling, which has no effects but does give you the four direction spaces for creature cards
