eadow: The Adventure Book expansion takes you on a hike with a beautiful cave as your final destina -
tion. You will discover places that challenge you to change your perspective. Each page of the book is
a different hike introducing new elements or changing the point scoring known from the base game.
Achievement Sheet
The hiking mode includes the achievement sheet that lets you track
your gained from victory points and achievements described in
each of the hikes.
The Adventure Book expansion has been prepared exclusively for
the base game of Meadow. This expansion is not to be combined
with the Downstream expansion.
Before beginning the game with the Adventure
Book expansion, add cards from Envelope U -
Big Encounters together with its goal token.
The hiking mode will involve playing through each hike from
this expansion. We recommend playing with the same players
throughout the campaign. The player with the most stars at the
end of the campaign is the winner. In case of a tie, the players
share victory.
Hiking mode is an additional gameplay option. All the hikes can be
played in any order, with different compositions of players. Even
after playing this mode, players can choose to play single plays of
their favorite hikes.
In hiking mode, after every hike, the players mark on their
achievement sheet the amount of stars earned through victory
points and acquired achievements.
After each hike, award:
– to the player(s) with the most victory points;
– to the player(s) with the second-most victory points.
The Adventure Book expansion consists of 6 hikes introducing
additional rules and game elements. The hikes may be played
individually or in the hiking mode.
Some of the hikes include new cards. Those are marked on the back
with letters N, W, S, and E. After finishing the given hike, these new
cards may be added to future games of the base game or with the
Downstream expansion.

Adventure Book
The adventure book includes boards to play each hike.
The adventure book replaces the campfire board from the base
game. Leave the campfire board in the box and instead place
the adventure book opened on the corresponding hike next to
the main board.
6 Boxes (to be assembled before your first game)
Assemble each of the boxes before your first game according to the drawing on the attached leaflet.
Note!
Before you take out the cardboard components from the punch-
boards, please check the symbols on the punchboards. This will
make it easier for you to place them in the corresponding boxes.
Components in boxes will be used when preparing certain hikes.
Each of the hikes includes a description with the summary of
components needed.
3 Notch Tokens
Place the corresponding amount of notch tokens, depending on the amount of players, on the last page of the adventure book. In a 1- and 2-player game, use the token marked as "1+". In a 3-player game, additionally use the token marked as "3+", and in a 4-player game, use all of the tokens.

t's time for a hike. Just make sure to pay attention to
the sky. Sometimes you can spot clouds in unexpected
interesting shapes. At other times it'll be dark rain clouds
forecasting a weather change.
During this hike, you'll score points not only for exploring
the meadow area but also for observing the sky. This will
give you weather cards that in turn grant extra actions.
Hike Preparation
Follow steps 1-4 of setup from the base game rulebook (p. 4-5).
8 sunny weather cards
4 sunny weather tokens
(1 in each of the 4 player colors)

(1 in each of the 4 player colors)
8 rainy weather cards
4 rainy weather tokens
(1 in each of the 4 player colors)
2 weather indicators
(sunny and rainy)
5 extra tokens
Place the adventure book next to the main board and
open it as shown in the diagram below. Remember
to place the notch tokens according to the number of
players (see p. 3 of this rulebook).
Place the round marker

The player that was last soaked by rain receives the first player token and starts the game.
The game follows the rules of the base game with the following changes:
Start of the Round
Roll the die at the start of each round to determine where to put the weather indicators on the main board. The result of the roll determines the position of the weather indicator according to the diagram in the adventure book. Perform a roll for each of the weather indicators separately, starting with the sunny weather indicator. The two indicators cannot share a space. If the roll for both indicators is identical, repeat the second roll until a different result is reached.

Getting Weather Cards
The player that places their path token in the notch of the main
board (or in the notch of a weather indicator) and takes a card in
the row or column with the weather indicator, immediately moves
their token on the corresponding weather track by 1, as indicated
by the arrows. The sunny weather indicator moves you on the
sunny weather track, and the rainy weather indicator moves you
on the rainy weather track. If you choose a card that crosses the
paths of both weather indicators, you choose only 1 of the weather
tracks to move your token.

If the weather token reaches the last space and you would move
it again, gain 1 of the 2 visible weather cards (corresponding with
the track) and then move your token to the starting spot of the
given weather track. Refill the empty space with a weather card
of the corresponding deck.
If the weather card decks runs out, do not refill the empty spaces in
the adventure book. They remain empty until the end of the game.
From now on, instead of taking a weather card, you may play 1 card
from your hand.
Example 2. Steven places his path token and takes a card from a row
with the sunny weather indicator. After taking the card, he moves
his sunny weather token 1 space.
It's the last space on
the track, so he receives
1 face-up sunny weather
card as a reward and places
his weather token back on
the 1st space of the track.
Playing Weather Cards
You may play a weather card from your hand in the same way you
would play any other card in your hand. Weather cards are placed
under previously played landscape cards as shown below. You may
only play one weather card per landscape card.
Some of the weather cards that grant victory points also have
placing requirements or give you a chance to perform an additional
action. You must perform the additional action right after playing
the weather card.

Performing Special Actions and Optional
Goal Fulfillment
If you place your path token in 1 of the notches in the adventure
book, you perform its bottom action (as in the base game).
Additionally, you may fulfill a goal.
The pairs of symbols are goals. Just as in the base game, in order
to fulfill a goal, you have to have both symbols of the pair visible in
your meadow area. In the case of first 2 pairs, 1 of the symbols is
a weather card symbol. In order to fulfill those goals, you have to
have a corresponding card played and have the 2nd symbol visible
in your meadow.
Your bonus tokens are placed on the board next to the corresponding
pair you are scoring, starting with your 2-value token placed in the
leftmost empty spot.
Important! In this hike all players also have available a bonus
token with the value of "5". Additionally, there are 4 bonus token
spaces, 1 for each of the players. Each player has the possibility of
fulfilling each of the goals.
Placing a Path Token on the Common Space
Each of the players may place any of their path tokens on the space shown in the picture on the left. Placing a path token here lets you play a card into your meadow or surroundings area and fulfill a goal (as if you placed your path token in the notch of the adventure book).
End of Round
When all players have placed all their path tokens, the round ends. Then the players collect all their path tokens. Pass the first player token and move the round marker to the next spot (like in the base game). When the round marker passes the hourglass symbol, replace the S deck holder with the N deck holder and discard all
cards from the main board and refill it with new cards.
The game ends at the end of the 6th round (regardless of the
number of players). Players count their victory points from
the cards they played in their meadow and surroundings areas
(including weather cards), as well as their bonus tokens from
the adventure book.
Additionally, players receive victory points if their weather tokens
are on the spots marked with 1 or 2 points on the tracks.
The winner is the player with the most victory points. In case of
a tie, the players share victory.

One for each player who was the first to fulfill
at least 1 goal (they have at least one bonus token in the first column).
One
for each player who played at least 1 sunny
weather and 1 rainy weather card.
Hiking Mode

Wetlands are the natural environment of many wild animals. It's difficult to observe nature in those hard-to-reach areas. However, thanks to footbridges, bridges, and natural stream passages, you will be able to discover the beauty of wild nature and maybe observe some huge animals. Each player's meadow area gets divided with a stream board; fulfilling goals will require placing the corresponding symbols on the correct sides of the bridges. In order to become the best observer, you must discover both sides of the meadow.

hike. Each of the areas is divided into the left and right side by the
stream board.
Bridge Tokens
Each bridge token has 2 symbols. If you have cards with both
symbols in your meadow area and they are on the correct sides
of the stream board, you immediately flip the token.
The flipped token gives you points at the end of the game
(as visible on the back side of the token).
Important! The bridge tokens don't have to be flipped in order.
You may first flip the tokens with higher point values (as long
as you fulfill their requirements) without flipping the ones with
lower values.

When you flip your second bridge token, you immediately take 1 of
the additional hike cards visible next to the adventure book.
Important! It doesn't matter which tokens have been flipped, you
always take the hike card after flipping your second bridge token.
Example 6. Caroline flips a bridge token with a value of "3" after
fulfilling its requirements.
Playing Cards into the Surroundings Area
As with playing cards into your meadow area, when playing
landscape cards you must decide on which side of the stream board
you want to place the card.
Keep your road tokens above the stream board. You decide where
to place the landscape card when playing the card.

The game follows the rules of the base game with the following
changes:
Playing Ground Cards
When playing a ground card, place it to the right of your last played ground card. All played ground cards will be placed from left to right.
Note that you can only place 2 ground cards above each of the
trail tokens.
Rules of the Hike
Example 8. Caroline plays a ground card. She must place it on
the right side of her previously played ground card. The arrow
indicates where she must play the new ground card.
You can play observation cards following all the standard rules
from the base game.
Moving Player Marker on the Trail Tokens
Every time you play a card into your meadow area that matches 1 symbol from the trail token above which you just placed the card, you may move your marker on the matching symbol.
Important! The card must be played into the meadow area ABOVE
the trail token with the corresponding symbol.
If you move your marker, turn your windmill clockwise 1 space.
The windmill should now show the amount of times you've moved
your marker this game (not just the distance moved). The number
visible is the amount of additional victory points that you'll score at
the end of the hike.
You may skip symbols on the trail but you may never move your
player marker back to the skipped symbol.
Example 9. Caroline plays the European green lizard card. The
symbol on the card matches 1 of the symbols on the trail token
directly below the lizard card. Caroline decides to move her player
marker to the
symbol. This allows her to turn the windmill disk
of her color. The windmill now shows the value of "1".
Remember that Caroline will not be able to move her player marker
back to the space with the symbol.
Important! If you use the special action allowing you to play
2 cards or you play a card with 2 symbols, you may still move your
player marker only 1 time, even if the symbols on the played cards
would indicate that you could do it 2 times.
When your player marker reaches the last space on the trail,
it stays there until the end of the game.
Hike 3. Windmills
---
1514
Turning Windmill Blade Tokens
Each windmill blade token illustrates an action of the token. You
flip the windmill blade token and perform its action when your
player marker is moved to the next trail token.
Since you may skip spaces with symbols, it's possible that your
marker is moved not by 1 but by 2 or more trail tokens. This
situation is within the rules, however, you may only flip 1 windmill
blade token and use its action.
Placing a Path Token on the Common Space
Each of the players may place any of their path tokens on the space shown in the picture on the left. Placing a path token here lets you play a card into your meadow or surroundings area.
End of Round
When all players have placed all their path tokens, the round ends. Then the players collect all their path tokens. Pass the first player token and move the round marker to the next spot (like in the base game). When the round marker passes the hourglass symbol, replace the S deck holder with the N deck holder and discard all
cards from the main board and refill it with new cards.
Windmill Blade Token Actions
Take 1 road token.
Take 1 of the available additional hike cards
(marked with the symbol)
Take the top card of the E or W deck and add it to your hand.
Take any face-up card from the main board and refill the empty space with the top card of the corresponding deck.
After performing the windmill blade action, flip it to mark that it has been used. You may perform each of the actions only 1 time during the hike.
End of the Hike
The game ends at the end of the 6th round (regardless of the number of players). Players count their victory points from the cards they played in their meadow and surroundings areas.
Additionally, you receive the amount of victory points indicated by
the marker on the windmill disc on its outer circle (for the amount
of moves you performed with your player marker on the trail tokens).
The winner is the player with the most victory points. In case of
a tie, the players share victory.
Apart from the stars for 1st and 2nd place, you also receive for
the following achievements:
One
for each player who, at any point in the game,
had 2 symbols visible (mark this achievement
during the game).
One for each player who played an additional hike
card this game.

Stopover
When you would move your player marker on the left balloon
flight track, you may decide to do a stopover before or after
the movement.
You may then perform all of the additional actions available next
to the space that you are at and all actions from the spaces below.
Then you move your player marker to the starting player space on
the right track corresponding to the number of players.
Important! Stopover is not considered to be player marker
movement. You perform it before or after a single marker
movement. If you would move twice, you may move 1 space, then
perform a stopover, then move 1 more space on the right balloon
flight track.
End of Round and Compass Movement
When all players have placed all their path tokens, the round ends.
First, move the compass rose. In order to determine the direction
of the compass rose movement you must check which player is the
furthest along (or, the highest) on either of the tracks. The symbol
there determines the direction of the movement.
Example 12. Steven may move his player marker 2 spaces. He moves
1 space on the left track, finishing his movement on space marked
with "1". He then decides to perform a stopover. He performs all
additional actions from the left track, up to the space he reached
- takes 1 card from the E deck, 1 road token, and 1 card from the
W deck. Then he moves his player marker to the starting space of
the right track (marked with "2"). He has 1 movement point left so
he moves his player marker to the space marked with "3".
Move the compass rose 90 degrees clockwise.
Move the compass rose 90 degrees counterclockwise.
Important! It's crucial to move the compass rose by exactly
90 degrees. The big hands of the rose have to match the hands in
the picture in the adventure book.
Then the players collect all their path tokens.
Pass the first player token and move the round marker to the next
spot (like in the base game). When the round marker passes the
hourglass symbol, replace the S deck holder with the N deck
holder and discard all cards from the main board and refill it
with new cards.
End of the Hike
The game ends at the end of the 6th round (regardless of the number of players). Players count their victory points from the cards they played in their meadow and surroundings areas, as well as their bonus tokens from the adventure book.
Additionally, you receive points from the flipped balloon tokens.
The winner is the player with the most victory points. In case of
a tie, the players share victory.
Apart from the stars for 1st and 2nd place, you also receive
for the following achievements:
One
for each player who reached the last space
of any of the tracks (mark this achievement during
the game).
One for each player who flipped all of their
6 balloon tokens.

he observation tower allows you to watch the
surroundings from above but it also presents some
curiosities of nature. It's worth spending some of your time
here and checking all of its floors to learn more about local
flora and fauna. The binoculars that you get during the
game will allow you to observe new species, fulfill goals,
or perform additional actions. By playing cards in your
meadow, you build it up to reach higher floors of the tower.

The game follows the rules of the base game with the following changes:
At the Start of Each Round
Important! Skip this step in the 1st round of the game.
At the start of 2nd and each following round of the game, each player (in turn order) must do the following:
Place a tower token
Each player places a tower token under 1 chosen card column in their meadow area. The column being a ground card and all observation cards played on the card. The placed tower token stays under the chosen column until the end of the game. The next tower token may not be placed under a column that already has a tower token.
Then each player places their player marker on a floor of the tower
that matches the number of cards in the chosen column (including
the ground card).
The player markers need to be placed on the
dedicated space - the terrace shown here.

Binoculars
When you are allowed to perform binoculars actions, you may
choose 1 of the options from the floor you are on or any of the
lower floors.
Important! If you perform 2 binoculars actions, you must
perform 2 different actions.
Binoculars actions
1st floor binoculars actions: Choose 1 action:
•
play up to 2 cards;
• take 2 road tokens;
• look at the top 3 cards of any deck on the
board, and add 1 to your hand, and put
the remaining 2 on the bottom of the deck;
• take any face-up card from the main board
to your hand (and refill the empty spot).
1st, 3rd, and 6th floor
binoculars action:
Take 1 horizon token of the correct
value (1 point for 1st floor, 3 points for
the 3rd floor, 5 points for the 6th floor).
2nd floor binoculars action:
Add 1 hike
card to your hand. Refill
the empty spot with a card from the hike deck.
2nd, 3rd, and 4th floor action: If you fulfill the goal requirements
(2 visible symbols in your meadow
area), place a bonus token with the
value corresponding to the given floor.
5th floor action:
Add 2 additional hike
cards to your hand. Refill
the empty spots with cards from the hike deck.
Symbols on the special path tokens
You may play a card from your hand into your meadow
or surrounding area.
You may play up to 2 cards from your hand into your
meadow and/or surrounding area.
Take any card from the indicated row or column.
Take 2 different cards from the indicated row or column
(refill the empty spots after taking the 2nd card).
Take the top card of the N deck.
Take any 1 face-up card from the main board and refill the
empty spot with the top card of the corresponding deck.
Take 1 road token.
Perform a binocular action.
Important! Each special path token allows you to perform
2 different binoculars actions.
Replace path tokens
Shuffle and draw as many special path tokens as there are players.
Place the tokens face up within easy access of each player.
Beginning with the starting player, each player chooses 1 of their
path tokens, places it to the side (next to the unused path tokens),
and replaces it with 1 of the special path tokens.
You may use the special path token just as any other path token
in your color. The actions indicated on the path tokens should be
performed in order.
Example 13. At the start of the 3rd round, Will decides to place
the tower token under a column that has 2 cards. He may not place
the token under the highest column (including 3 cards) because
it already has a token. Therefore, he places his player marker on
the 2nd floor of the observation tower.

Horizon tokens
Place these tokens in your surroundings area:
Tokens with value of "1" are worth 1 victory point at
the end of the game.
Tokens with value of "3" and "5" are worth the full amount
of points (respectively 3 and 5) if at the end of the game you
have the symbols indicated in your meadow area. Otherwise
they are worth less points (respectively 1 and 2 instead).
M37
Placing a Path Token on the Common Space
Each of the players may place any of their path
tokens on the space shown in the picture on the left.
Placing a path token here lets you play a card into
your meadow or surroundings area.
End of Round
When all players have placed all their path tokens, the round ends. Then the players collect all their path tokens (including the ones put aside at the beginning of the round). Then collect all the special path tokens, shuffle them with the unused ones from earlier, then prepare new choices for the next round equal to the number of players.
Pass the first player token and move the round marker to the next
spot (like in the base game). When the round marker passes the
hourglass symbol, replace the S deck holder with the N deck holder
and discard all cards from the main board and refill it with new
cards.
End of the Hike
The game ends at the end of the 6th round (regardless of the number of players). Players count their victory points from the cards they played in their meadow and surroundings areas, as well as horizon tokens and their bonus tokens from the adventure book.
Additionally the players score victory points for:
each card above the 6th card played in a single
column scores 1 point (e.g. 9 cards in a single
column is worth 3 points);
placing all 3 bonus tokens scores 3 points.
The winner is the player with the most victory points. In case of
a tie, the players share victory.
Apart from the stars for 1st and 2nd place, you also receive
for the following achievements:
One
for each player who placed all of their
bonus tokens in the adventure book.

Points and
Rules of acquiring in the solo variant of the Hiking mode are
different than in the multiplayer one. Therefore, ignore the descrip-
tions of the Hiking mode at the end of the given hike.
At the end of a hike, score as described in this chapter. After
finishing all hikes, compare the amount of scored with the table
below in order to see how well you did against Rover.
If you decide to play a single hike, your result will be the gathered
(scored according to the rules of this chapter). If you score 3 or
more , you may announce your victory over Rover.
Changes to the Setup
This variant is based on the rules described on p. 14 and 15 of the
base game rulebook. In the adventure book you'll face a dummy
player called Rover. In this variant you may play a single scenario
or in the Hiking mode.
Solo
Variant
Setup
Prepare the hike as described in the Hike preparation part.
Place the solo play game token next to the main board.
Shuffle the path tokens (including the ? tokens) of all of the other
colors and form a face-down pile. Place them next to the solo play
game token.
Take 1 color marker of each of the other colors and randomly place
them uncovered on 3 spots around the solo play game token.
Rover does not have their own meadow or surroundings areas, and
the cards they collect during the game are placed in a face-up deck
above the solo play game token.
Important! During some hikes, the symbol on the top card of the
deck will be important at the end of the round - it'll be described
in the scenario.
When you start each hike take your starting cards and refill the
empty slots on the board with cards from the corresponding deck.
Then take all of the cards from the 1st row under the deck holders
and 1 card from the N deck and place them in Rover’s deck. Refill
the board again.
Changes to Gameplay, End of Game and Scoring
During gameplay, follow all the changes described on p. 15 of the base game rulebook. In the base game rules we refer to notches in the campfire board. For the games with Adventure Book expansion, treat the notches in the adventure book as if they were in the campfire board.
The additional changes to each hike have been described on the
following pages.

In this hike, Rover will use a set of bonus and weather tokens in
one of the unused colors. Place Rover's weather tokens on the
board next to the player's tokens, and their bonus tokens, next to
the solo play game token.
At the end of each round, check if the top card of Rover's deck
matches any of the goal symbols. If yes, place Rover's bonus token
(starting with the lowest valued one) on the 1st free space on the
given goal. Note that Rover fulfills their goal if 1 out of 2 required
symbols is visible in their deck. Therefore, they take the 1st place
needed for a player to score a for this achievement.
If Rover takes a card indicated by the weather indicator, move the
corresponding weather token by 1 space on the given track. If they
take a card indicated by both indicators, move both weather tokens
1 space on each of the tracks. If Rover's weather token reaches the
last space of the track, place one of the weather cards face down
next to their deck. Rover always takes the bottom card from the
adventure book.
Regardless of the card's value, the weather card is always worth
2 victory points for Rover at the end of the game.
You take the hike
card every time you flip a bridge token. At the
end of the game, each card that you didn't get goes to Rover's deck.
Rover doesn't move on the trails and they don't have their
own windmill.
Every time that Rover takes a card from the board, they
immediately play another turn (if during this extra turn they take
another card - they don't get another turn).
At the end of the game count all of the points scored by Rover and see how many
ground cards they have. Each of those symbols
is worth 1 additional victory point for Rover.

Even though the rainbows that we see seem to be arch shaped, in truth they are circular. You may
sometimes observe that from an airplane.
M17Least weasel
Mustela

Domesticated
apple
Malus pumila
The cultivated apple is perfect for garden decoration. It's worth having more than one species of the tree,
so you'll have them bloom longer and have more fruit thanks to cross-pollination.
M19Bird's-nest orchid
Neottia
nidus-avis
The bird's-nest orchid doesn't photosynthesize. It takes all the nutrients it needs from mycorrhizal fungus
to obtain the nutrients it needs to survive
M20Anthill
Ants form hierarchical communities where all of them fulfill certain roles so they can all survive.
Most tasks are done by the workers, while the queen lays eggs.
M21Blue tooth

Just like regular bees, violet carpenter bees are crucial for the ecosystem as they pollinate plants. Bees are
responsible for the breeding of 80% of all plants in the world, and those in turn are crucial for the survival
of animals.
M32Wolverine Gulo gulo
Wolverines behave very similar to weasels when it comes to hunting. They often hunt for larger prey and
kill several animals in a short time to gather supplies.
