Spirits of the Rice Paddy

 

As a rice farmer in Bali you tend your fields, plant rice, use livestock against pests and communicate with traditional spirits. Before rounds One and Four you draft four cards each and then you play seven rounds; round one to five are identical – Reveal Rain Card, Play Spirit Cards, Claim Water, Resolve Spirit Cards, Allocate labourers and livestock to actions, Resolve those Farm Actions, Claim Acievements, Hire Laborers, buy Livestock. Round 6 is played without hiring/buying; in round Seven all water is removed, Laborer/Livestock allocation and Farm actions are played as usual, Harvesting include Bonuses, and then you sum up your rice and win with most rice.
