Chapter 6

The Round

Each round the dice are rolled once (step 1). Then every player takes a turn in player order (steps 2–6). After the last player the round ends (steps 7–8).

  1. Roll Dice: The first player rolls 3 dice; all players use the same dice. Each die has the values 1-5 and a sixth side that gives a choice. If a die lands on the choice side, the first player chooses either to take 1 fertilizer token and re-roll that die, or to set that die to any value from 1-5. If the player chooses the re-roll and it lands on a six again do the choice above again.

  2. Select Enclosure Dice: On your turn choose one die as the Width of your enclosure and another die as the Height, both in cells. The remaining (third) die determines which asset tokens you can choose later in the round — so plan both your enclosure placement and your desired asset token.

  3. Place Enclosure on Board: Place your enclosure as a rectangle of Width × Height cells on the enclosure board. It must lie fully on the board, must not overlap any other enclosure, and must share at least one cell edge (not only a corner) with one of your own existing enclosures. On your very first turn it must instead cover your starting cell. If no combination of dice gives you both a legal placement and an asset token matching the third die on the assets board (see step 4), you pass for this round: skip the rest of your turn.

  4. Select Asset Token: Take one of the asset tokens on the assets board that matches the value of the third unused die. Also take the miniature that the asset token represents and place it inside your last created enclosure. Keep the asset token for step 6.

  5. Score placement points: Score points for the miniature you just placed according to the table in Scoring.

  6. Place asset token for endgame scoring: Place the asset token you took in step 4 in one of the categories on your farm board (see Asset Token placement on farm board). If the token fits no category with a free slot, discard it.

  7. Next Player / Round Check: You are done for this turn. The next player takes the same steps (using the same dice). If you are the last player, the round ends.

  8. New Round: Refill the assets board. Asset tokens that were not chosen by any player in the previous round stay on the board — only the slots that were picked are refilled from the bag. Check Game length: if the game has ended, go to Endgame Scoring. Otherwise set the player order again: the player with the fewest points goes first and the others follow from low to high points. Players with the same points roll a die as in Setup; the lowest value goes first among them.
