Turns and workers: Clockwise, take one action: place one worker, play one card or prepare for the next season. A worker immediately resolves its location and stays there. Exclusive spaces allow one worker; shared spaces allow multiple workers. Only destinations marked open in another city can be visited, awarding their owner one point.

Cards and costs: Play a card from your hand or the eight-card Meadow, paying its cost to the supply. If you own its matching construction, you may instead play the associated critter without paying berries, placing an occupied token on that construction. This plays the critter directly, rather than adding it to your hand; each construction grants this occupancy only once.

City capacity: Normally use at most 15 spaces; events use none. Wanderer takes no space and a paired Husband and Wife share one. Common cards can repeat, but your city can contain only one of each specific Unique card. Playing a card for free still respects these restrictions.

Drawing and production: The hand limit is strictly eight; draw only up to that limit. Draw from the deck unless an effect explicitly permits Meadow cards. Immediately refill a Meadow slot after playing its card. Green production cards activate when played and again when preparing for spring and autumn, with no general production in summer.

Individual seasons: Prepare only after deploying all your workers, without waiting for other players. Retrieve workers that can return and receive the new workers and bonus: spring adds one worker and production; summer adds one worker and up to two Meadow cards; autumn adds two workers and production. Permanently deployed workers stay as their cards instruct.

Events and journeys: Meet an event’s requirements and pay any required cost when placing a worker to claim it; each event belongs to one player. Journeys are available only in autumn and require discarding cards equal to their point value. The three-, four- and five-point spaces are exclusive; the two-point space is shared.

Card-playing abilities: Discounts such as Crane, Innkeeper and Dungeon are separate ways to play a card; different card-playing abilities cannot be stacked. Using a construction to waive a critter’s berry cost does not bypass city capacity, Unique restrictions or other explicit requirements.

Finishing and scoring: At the end of autumn, when unable or unwilling to take more actions, pass permanently, even with cards remaining in hand. Others continue. Once everyone finishes, total printed card points, point tokens, prosperity bonuses, journeys and events. Break a tie by most achieved events, then most remaining resources.
