Hey there! Let’s talk about playing the game. It’s just like the basic game, so you already know the drill. At the end of the game, we all get to score our biggest connected group of objects that are next to each other. And guess what? Those fancy layers don’t mess with our group, but those empty green fields sure do. Now, here’s the fun part: for every object in our group, we earn 1 point. And we get to move our scoring stone ahead by that number of points. Pretty cool, right?

The Big Meadow

At The Big Meadow, I discovered the largest connected group and how it affects my score in the game. This group is made up of 27 objects, which means I can earn 27 points. It’s amazing to see how one group can have such a big impact on my score.

When I first started playing, I didn’t realize the importance of finding these connected groups. I would just focus on individual objects and try to collect as many points as possible. But now I understand that finding and capturing a large group can really elevate my score.

It’s interesting to think about how these groups form. Sometimes, objects are right next to each other, making it easy to connect them. Other times, they are spread out across the meadow, and I have to strategically move objects to create a connection.

One of the key strategies I’ve learned is to look for objects that are already part of a group. By adding to an existing group, I can make it even bigger and earn more points. It’s like a domino effect, where each object I add increases my score.

Another important aspect of these connected groups is the risk involved. While they can earn me a lot of points, there’s also a chance that they will be broken apart. If I’m not careful, I might accidentally disconnect objects and lose out on potential points.

Overall, understanding the impact of connected groups has completely changed the way I play the game. I now focus on looking for these groups and strategically adding to them. The excitement of earning multiple points with each object I capture keeps me engaged and motivated to keep playing.

Hey there! Let me break down the game rules for you. It’s pretty similar to the basic game. So, at the end of the game, we all get to score our biggest group of empty, green garden tiles without any objects. You see, different layers don’t split up a group. For each empty green garden tile in our group, we get 2 points. And to keep track of our score, we move our scoring stone forward by that many points. Sounds easy, right?

Example:

Imagine this – I found myself in the Zen Garden, surrounded by an expanse of lush greenery. As I looked around, I noticed a significant sight – a cluster of six vacant garden tiles, all connected. It was a pleasant surprise, and as you can probably guess, I couldn’t resist the temptation to evaluate the points I would earn from this discovery.

C. The Zen Garden

In the game, everything is set up just like it is in the basic version. You’ll need the 16 Zen tiles, which you shuffle and place face-down next to the scoreboard. To start the game, flip over a random number of Zen tiles. The game is played the same way as the basic version, but with a twist. When it’s your turn, instead of taking a regular garden tile, you have the option to take one of the face-up Zen tiles and put it on your game board. For every Zen tile you use, a new one is turned over. It’s important to remember a few things when placing a Zen tile. First, you can only put a Zen tile in an empty space on the bottom layer of your game board. You can’t place it on top of another garden tile. After you place the Zen tile, you need to put a lantern on the lantern field in the same column. Lastly, when you place a Zen tile, you earn 1 point and move your scoring stone forward.

Hello! Let’s dive into the intriguing world of Zen tiles and explore how they can impact your game.

You see, Zen tiles hold a special power in the game. When a Zen tile is completely surrounded, either by other tiles or by the edge of the game board, an interesting thing happens. It’s like a secret code that triggers a response.

Imagine this: you have a Zen tile in the middle of your game board. It’s surrounded by different objects – maybe a tree, a bird, and a flower. And just like magic, when this happens, you earn points. Yes, you read that right! You earn 1 point for each object that is adjacent to the Zen tile. So, in this case, you would earn 3 points.

But wait, there’s more! The word “adjacent” means that the objects must be touching the Zen tile. Picture them like good friends, standing side by side. They need to be connected to count as adjacent.

So, if you have a Zen tile with a bird sitting on top and a flower next to it, you would earn 2 points. But if the bird is on the other side of the game board and not touching the Zen tile, it won’t count. It’s all about that special connection.

Now, why is this important? Well, those points can make a big difference in the game. They can elevate your score and give you an edge over your opponents. So, whenever you have a chance to create a Zen tile and surround it with objects, go for it!

Remember, the power of the Zen tile lies in its surroundings. So, use your strategy wisely, connect those objects, and watch your points soar. Happy gaming!

And there you have it – a little secret about Zen tiles and how they can shape your game in a truly fascinating way. Enjoy exploring this unique aspect and have fun discovering the magic within!

When I surrounded the Zen tile with boxwood, I got 4 points. And when I surrounded it with the azalea shrub, I got S points. But because the Zen tile with the maple tree hasn’t been completely surrounded yet, I only got 1 point for it so far.

Wow! 7!

When you play the game, it’s just like the regular version. The rules and gameplay stay the same.

But here’s something interesting: at the end of the game, you get to score your rows and columns. How? Well, let me explain.

For every column or row that has exactly 7 objects, you get 7 points. And when you score those points, your scoring stone moves forward.

Imagine this: you’re playing a game where you earn points for each task you complete. It’s exciting because the more tasks you finish, the more points you earn! But hold on, there’s a twist: some tasks are worth double the points.

Let’s break it down. Say you complete two tasks, and each task is worth 7 points. If the tasks were not doubled, you would earn a total of 2×7 points, which is 14 points.

But wait, there’s more

Here’s how you play the game. Just like in the basic version, you’ll need a frog marker. Place it on any space on your game board with the silver frog facing up.

Now let’s get into the game itself. It’s played the same as the basic game, but with a little twist. You can move your frog by one space either before or after your regular turn.

Here are the rules you need to remember:

• You can move your frog horizontally or vertically to a neighboring space.
• Your frog can’t move onto a Zen tile.
• Your frog must stay on the same layer or jump up to one layer higher.
• Every time your frog jumps to a higher layer, you score points: 1 point for layer 1, 2 points for layer 2, and so on.
• Your frog can’t move to a lower layer.
• The silver frog can’t be moved onto objects.

When the silver frog reaches the fourth layer, it magically transforms into a magnificent golden frog. You’ll see this incredible transformation when you turn the frog marker over. The golden frog has special abilities – it can hop onto objects! That’s right, it’s not bound by the usual rules of movement and can make its way onto any object on the board.

Once the game comes to an end, it’s time to take the frog marker off the board. But before you do, don’t forget to calculate the remaining points. Count up the objects you’ve collected and add any bonuses from “The Colorful Garden,” “The Big Meadow,” and “7!” expansions if you’re playing with them. The frog itself doesn’t contribute to your final score, so don’t worry about its influence.

Remember, when you journey through this enchanting game, keep an eye out for that silver frog’s transformation and make the most of the golden frog’s unique powers. Good luck!
