Description
Meadow is an engaging set collection game with over two hundred unique cards containing hand-painted watercolor illustrations. In the game, players take the role of explorers competing for the title of the most skilled nature observer. To win, they collect cards with the most valuable species, landscapes, and discoveries. Their journey is led by passion, a curiosity of the world, an inquiring mind, and a desire to discover the mysteries of nature. The competition continues at the bonfire where the players race to fulfill the goals of their adventures.
In this medium-weight board game for 1-4 players, you take turns placing path tokens on one of the two boards. Placing a token on the main board allows the player to get cards, but playing them requires meeting certain requirements. Playing a token on the bonfire board activates special actions (which helps to implement a chosen strategy) and gives the opportunity to achieve goals that provide additional points. Throughout the game, players collect cards in their meadow and surroundings area. At the end, the player with the most points on cards and on the bonfire board wins.
Meadow also includes envelopes with additional cards to open at specific moments...

- board-row/column drafting — Each player selects a board row (west, middle, east) to gain all cards in that row, shaping future options.
- campfire actions — Campfire tokens provide options like drawing, placing, or swapping cards and activating bonuses.
- card types and placement rules — Vertical meadow cards versus horizontal surroundings cards with specific symbol requirements to place.
- deck refresh and board refill — At round transitions, cards are moved, decks are reshuffled layer by layer, and spaces are refilled for the next round.
- ground vs non-ground cards — Ground cards have distinct placement rules and symbols; non-ground cards have victory point values.
- path tokens and card draw — Path tokens on the main board guide which cards you may take; some tokens act as wilds (question mark).
- requirements symbols — Cards require visible symbols in the meadow area to be playable; some symbols are flexible via dash lines.
- round-based scoring — Gameplay unfolds over a fixed number of rounds; end-game scoring aggregates card VP and bonuses.
- sign token placement — Players place sign tokens on the board or the campfire to trigger actions and influence card acquisition.
