An ancient garden attracts a crowd of enthusiasts. As these colorful ferns slowly populate every corner of the garden, dedicate visitors seek the best vantage points. Strike the perfect balance between placing ferns and visitors, to secure your victory!
You start the game with five different visitors and an hand of 4 random Fern tiles.
On your turn you make 2 actions, each of which can involve planting a Fern into the Garden, or placing a Visitor on a Bench; if the bench belongs to the other player, that visitor is called a Disturber. Then you draw Ferns to come back to a 4 tiles hand.
The winner is determined by calculating the Visitors’ happiness. Each Visitor seated on a Bench of their own color earns points equal to the number of their favorite ferns visible in their Side. If the Bench has a Disturber, subtract the number of ferns of the Disturber's type visible in that Side (the score for that Bench can drop to zero but never below).
