Players may look at their cards, but should keep them a secret from the other players.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>The player who owns the most house plants goes first. Play proceeds in a clockwise manner.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gameplay<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Points are earned by completing Garden Objective Cards, using Plant Cards. Players must plant all of the required plants on their Garden Board by laying Plant Cards on their board, face up. Some Garden Objective Cards are more difficult, and, therefore, are worth more points at the end of the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">On Your Turn<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Perform Actions<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Players perform 3 Actions on their turn. Players may perform the same Actions multiple times, and they can be performed in any order. The <strong>7 <\/strong>Actions include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Draw a Plant Card<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Plant a Plant in your Garden<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Draw a Bug Card<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sabotage Another Player\u2019s Garden<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Play a Good Bug Card on your Garden<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sweep the Plant Cards<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use Pesticide<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Draw a Garden Objective Card<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Draw a Plant Card<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Draw a Plant Card, either from the top of the deck or from the row of face-up cards. If you take a face-up card, replace the gap with a new card from the top of the deck. There is no limit to the number of cards a player can have in their hand.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Plant a Plant in your Garden<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Place a Plant Card face-up on your Garden Board. Each Garden Board has two plots, Plot 1 and 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Draw a Bug Card<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Draw a Bug Card, either from the top of the deck or from the row of face-up cards. If you take a face-up card, replace the gap with a new card from the top of the deck. There is no limit to the number of cards a player can have in their hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sabotage Another Player\u2019s Garden<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Place a Bad Bug Card face-up on any other player\u2019s Garden Board on one plot. The Bug immediately eats one Plant. The affected player discards this Plant Card. The Bug will continue to eat Plants in the player\u2019s Garden until it is killed with Pesticide. A Bug takes 1 Plant at the beginning of the affected player\u2019s turn until exterminated. Additionally, players cannot meet Garden Objectives when a Bad Bug is in their Garden. Only 1 Bad Bug, in addition to 1 Good Bug, can be placed on a plot at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Play a Good Bug on your Garden<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Place a Good Bug Card face-up on your Garden Board on one plot. A Garden Objective completed with a Good Bug Card applied to it will score additional points at the end of the game. Only 1 Good Bug, in addition to the 1 Bad Bug, can be placed on a plot at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sweep the Plant Cards<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If you do not like the four face-up Plant Cards, you may sweep them away to get four new ones. Discard all four cards and replace them with the top four cards from the deck. You CANNOT sweep the Bug Cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use Pesticide<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>To remove an unwanted Bad Bug from your Garden Board, you must use Pesticide. Remove the Bad Bug from your affected Garden Board Plot and place it in the discard pile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Draw a Garden Objective Card<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Draw a Garden Objective Card from the top of the deck OR exchange a Garden Objective Card by discarding a Garden Objective Card from your hand and drawing a new one from the top of the deck. NOTE: Players can only have 2 Garden Objective Cards in their hand at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Completing Objectives<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you have met all of the requirements on a Garden Objective Card, you may lay this card face-up in front of you. Requirements are met when all of the Plant and Bug Cards shown on the Garden Objective Card are placed on one Garden Board plot. All of the Bug and Plant Cards on the plot that fulfill this requirement are discarded. You may complete Objective Cards anytime during your turn and it does NOT count as one of your standard Actions. It is possible to complete more than one Garden Objective Card during your turn.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If there is a Good Bug Card applied to the Garden Plot that completes the Objective, stack this card underneath your completed Garden Objective Card in front of you.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Garden Objectives CANNOT be completed with a Bad Bug on the Garden Plot. Bad Bugs MUST be killed with Pesticide first.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Types of Cards<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are three different types of cards throughout the game: Plant Cards, Bug Cards, and Garden Objective Cards. The following describes and provides examples of these cards.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Plant Cards<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Plant Cards enable players to complete Garden Objective Cards, which are necessary to earn points and win the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rmu.andrewyames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Screenshot-2024-09-30-123222.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"283\" height=\"341\" src=\"https:\/\/rmu.andrewyames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Screenshot-2024-09-30-123222.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10366\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rmu.andrewyames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Screenshot-2024-09-30-123222.png 283w, https:\/\/rmu.andrewyames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Screenshot-2024-09-30-123222-249x300.png 249w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 283px) 100vw, 283px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bug Cards<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two types of Bug Cards: Good Bug Cards and Bad Bug Cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Good Bug Cards<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Good Bug Cards are white and feature bugs that will benefit your Garden.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Only 1 Good Bug Card can be placed on a Garden Board Plot at a time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>At the end of the game, you receive <strong>2 additional points<\/strong> for every Garden Objective Card completed with a Good Bug on it.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You CANNOT place a Good Bug Card on another player\u2019s Garden Board.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rmu.andrewyames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Screenshot-2024-09-30-123400.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"331\" height=\"428\" src=\"https:\/\/rmu.andrewyames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Screenshot-2024-09-30-123400.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10367\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rmu.andrewyames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Screenshot-2024-09-30-123400.png 331w, https:\/\/rmu.andrewyames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Screenshot-2024-09-30-123400-232x300.png 232w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 331px) 100vw, 331px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bad Bug Cards<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Bad Bug Cards are black and feature bugs that will harm other player\u2019s Gardens.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>When a Bad Bug Card is placed, it <strong>immediately eats <\/strong>1 Plant Card.
