The goal? Collect herb and flower seeds (represented by adorable dice) and use strategic tools (cards) to plant sprouts and score points. Each round is split into three phases: preparing the tool shed, picking and planting seeds, and cleaning up for the next round. The gameplay is simple but full of decisions: do you plant quickly to secure smaller points or risk waiting for premium spots in the garden? The game ends when the tool cards run out, and the player with the most points wins. Perfect for those who enjoy light games with a touch of strategy and a charming theme. ## FAQ ### How many players can play? 1 to 4 players, with specific rules for solo mode. ### How long does a game take?
