How to Play: Brief Overview

On your turn, move the Truck up to 2 spaces through the Market.

Select a card that’s next to your truck to add to your Garden.

If the card has a Wren Token, you gain it. Wren Tokens can be used to move the Truck extra spaces or re-arrange your Garden.

Wherever you end your turn is where your opponent will start theirs; so pay attention and choose wisely!

The card you gain must be placed next to a card already in your Garden.

Your Garden may not exceed 4 cards in columns or rows.

Score for every row and column in ascending and descending order. Score additional points for Geckos in scoring rows and columns and quadrants of the same color.

If there are no face-up cards in the Market that can be reached in 2 moves, add a Wren Token to all face-up cards and then flip all the face-down cards before starting your turn.

This is a huge advantage and timing it so it happens on your turn can decide the match!
