## Description
Get ready for a rather... prickly harvest! In 'Abandon All Artichokes', you'll find yourself buried under an avalanche of unwanted vegetables, and the only way out is to get rid of them. Forget peaceful gardening; here, the mission is to clear your patch as quickly as possible.

The objective is straightforward: be the first to have a hand completely free of artichokes and other troublesome veggies. To achieve this, you'll be tinkering with your deck, composting bad cards, and seeking out those that help you solve the problem. Each vegetable has a special power that can be used to swap cards with other players, discard what you don't need, or even "plant" something new in your hand. It's a race against time and your opponents, where luck and a dash of strategy are essential.

The game uses a deck-building mechanic, where you start with a basic set and improve it throughout the match. Each turn, you draw cards, use their abilities, and decide which ones to keep and which to "compost" for the future. The interaction is direct, with cards affecting other players' hands, making each round unpredictable and fun. It's a fast-paced game, ideal for those who want something light to play with family or friends, without complications and with matches that don't drag on. If you enjoy card games with a touch of "anti-building" and a race to the finish, 'Abandon All Artichokes' might be just what you're looking for.
