Components
36 cards:
- 12 shrubs
- 12 cards top/bottom
- 12 cards left/right
All expansion cards show the new type symbol: the Woodland Edge symbol (see New Symbols below).
The card faces shown on the insert are illustrations. Their individual card texts are not reproduced in the rules insert and are not transcribed here.
Setup Changes
You can mix the base game cards with the cards from one or both expansions. Return 10 cards to the game box unseen and then, based on the player count, remove additional cards unseen:
| Player count | With one expansion | With two expansions |
|---|---|---|
| 2 players | 45 cards | 80 cards* |
| 3 players | 30 cards | 50 cards* |
| 4 players | 15 cards | 35 cards |
| 5 players | none | 20 cards |
*Hint for playing with two expansions: Instead of counting cards to remove at the start, shuffle all cards and divide them into roughly equal piles: with two players, form 5 piles and remove 2 from play; with three players, form 4 piles and remove 1 from play.
Gameplay Changes
Play the game according to the base game rules. Note the following clarifications:
Bee Swarm: Perform the effect after you have paid for the card.
Butterflies: There are 7 different butterflies only if you play with both expansions.
Eurasian Magpie: Perform the bonus after you have paid for the card. If there is only one card in the clearing, only take that one.
Shrubs (shrub type symbol): They provide slots for one card on each of their four sides (like trees) and have a permanent effect (like mushrooms). You already apply this effect when you use the shrub's bonus. Shrubs are neither trees nor mushrooms!
Stinging Nettle: The effect refers to the tree or shrub to which the Stinging Nettle is attached.
Water Vole: After each sapling you play, place a card from the deck in the clearing (according to the usual rule).
