- End-of-day refresh and day progression — After four actions per player, day ends; harvest is scored; days progress and decks rotate; new tiles are drafted.
- Enhanced actions via magic and skill tokens — The magic action lets you take enhanced plant/tend/prep actions; you can place upgrade tokens below actions to gain extra effects.
- Harvest scoring by rows and borders — Score is determined by the harvested tile and neighboring workers on same rows/columns and border sections.
- Hidden information and deduction — Part of the harvest tracker and hand of hidden challenge cards provides deduction and strategic uncertainty.
- Tile drafting and flipping — Draft crop tiles from a shared pool; untended or tended sides can be placed; tiles can be rotated.
- Weather and farmer cards — Daily farmer cards introduce weather effects and ongoing round rules; harvest cards determine end-of-day scoring.
- Worker Placement — Players place four workers on plant, tend, prep, or magic actions each day, with movement constraints from the magic action.
