The goal
Have the highest-scoring city when the four seasons are over.
How it plays
- 1On your turn do exactly one thing: place a worker, play a card, or prepare for the next season.
- 2Place a worker on a location and take what it gives: twigs, resin, pebbles, berries or cards.
- 3Play a card by paying its cost and adding it to your city, either from your hand or from the 8 face-up cards in the Meadow. A city holds 15 cards at most.
- 4Cards are constructions and critters. If the matching construction is already in your city, its critter comes for free, once per construction.
- 5Prepare for season only when all your workers are out. Take them back and gain more: 1 in spring, 1 in summer, 2 in autumn. Spring and autumn also trigger the green production cards in your city again.
- 6Players change season on their own schedule: you can be in summer while someone else is still in spring.
How you win
In autumn, when you can't or won't do anything more, you pass. Once everyone has passed, add up card points, point tokens, purple card bonuses, journeys and events. The highest total wins.
First time?
- A city has only 15 spaces. Don't fill them with cheap cards.
- Build the construction first and bring its critter in free. It saves a lot of berries.
- Don't hurry into the next season. Squeeze this one dry first.
