Rules summary
Create the best strawberry patch within a beautiful garden.
Set Up
Cards are played from three decks, identifiable by the rear of the card: Sunrise, Noon, and Sunset.
Each deck is shuffled indipendently and 1 card from the Sunrise deck is dealt to each gardener (player).
Some cards may be discarded before playing, depending on the number of gardeners:
- 2 gardeners - discard 8 cards from each deck;
- 3 gardeners - discard 4 cards from each deck;
- 4 gardeners - no cards are discarded.
The decks are placed in a single pile forming the Main Deck: Sunrise on top, Noon underneath, and Sunset on the bottom.
Place the top card face up to comprise the Sunrise Compost Pile (separate compost piles for Sunrise, Noon and Sunset decks).
Each player starts with one card in play.
Gameplay
- Cards can be taken from the deck or the compost pile. If taken from the Main Deck, there is a choice between two cards. The rejected one is placed at the bottom of it's own deck.
- Each feature on the cards counts as a plot
- Cards must be placed vertically, never horizontally. Cards may be turned upside down. At least one currently placed plot must be covered by a new plot. Placed cards can be completely covered if wished.
- A strawberry plant has three sections, roots, flowers and fruit. These must be placed in order to score. A root can sustain multiple plants.
- Cover gravel plots where possible, to avoid losing points
Game End
The game finishes when the Main Deck is exhausted
