Photosynthesis

 

Several types of trees rival for growth and control over the little clearing. Each tree grows if it gets enough sun and casts a shadow according to its size. When a tree has reached the end of its life span, you score points according to its size. The game is played in rounds of two phases - Sunshine and Action. For Sunshine, the sun is moved to the next corner of the hexagon board, and you score light points for each tree not in the shadow of another tree. Then, in turn, you have as many action as you want to pay for with light points - buy tree or seed, let trees grow, plant a seed or collect points for completed tree life span. After the sun has done three full rounds you win with most points. In an expert version, you can play four sun rounds and restrict the actions growth or plant seed to non-shadow locations.
