How to play

Each round the first player's dice (players + 2) are rolled and grouped by number, lowest first, on the rondel from Farmer Edith 👩‍🌾. Players pick a die in turn from the first player 🎃; then everyone uses the lowest die left. Then the round's event: 🧰 Shed, 🌧 Rain (water every zone) or 🧺 Farmer's market. 8 rounds.

A die gives two actions, in any order: its number is a garden zone to plant or water, and its space is the rondel action. Compost changes the number by 1 each (6 and 1 wrap round); Iris gives free changes.

Plant up to 2 crops in the zone (3 with the Seed Spreader) — a bean needs its corn 2 boxes tall. Water grows every planted crop in the zone one box. Filling a crop's circle harvests it: corn 3 points, beans 1, pumpkins goods — and two pumpkins side by side give the flower between them.

Rondel: Plant or Water (another, same zone) · Shed Time · 1 Compost & 4 Goods · Apiary or Fruit · Farmer's Market (by your goods: 0+ 1 compost; 4+ 1 🌸 + 1 compost; 20+ 1 🌸 + 1 fruit; 35+ 2 🌸 + 1 compost; 50+ 2 🌸 + 1 fruit; 70+ 2 🌸 + 1 ★).

Goods: every 5th box is a ★ bonus action — the next box of any perennial, the apiary, a fruit or a shed item (not the garden).

Your to-do list is on the right: tap an item to work on it, then tap the zone, perennial, fruit row, apiary or shed item. Hold a player's name to peek at their sheet; tap it to keep it up.

Our readings where the rules are brief: the Hive Tool and Pitchfork trigger whenever you fill a Crocus / Hydrangea box; the Wheelbarrow pays for shed actions (not bonus actions spent in the shed); any action may be skipped.
