PLAYED FOR YOU

Kitchen Garden

Five pumpkins with three cards

As a gardener you are asked to plant vegetables and fruit according to a task card. Each player holds such a card, the tools pictured on the side you want to use must be different for each player. You also have one card each Crow, Market and Holiday. Six cards are laid out for a market and you are dealt four cards.

The task card shows four beds of plants - those plants need to be planted by adding cards to the task card, in total as many plants as shown and using exactly the number of cards indicated on the sides of the task card.

In your turn you can play one of the special cards that force another player to pass his turn or secure an additional action for yourself by discarding two special cards. Then you can either draw a card for Harvest, add a card to a bed for Planting - when you complete a bed you draw a card as a reward; for Weed for you can place a weed card in an opponent's bed; to remove weed you play Worker or you can swap a card from your hand with a card from the market. If you play Market all market cards are renewed and you can then swap two cards with the new market. For Holiday all players must discard three cards and draw new ones. For Crow you can take back a card from the discard pile and for Crow+Sluggard you can steal a card from an opponent's bed. Special cards are returned when all of a kind have been played. If you are first to correctly plant all four beds you win the game.

Gardening is fun, also in this fictitious garden; instead weather you have luck of the draw influencing your harvest and weed must be fought in any case, and you can even pinch fruits from your neighbor!
