At 6–7 players, deal clockwise from the starting player: 3 cards to them, 4 to the next, 5 to the next, and 6 to everyone else.

Your Hand

  • Never reorder your hand. Keep cards in the order they were dealt.
  • New cards always go to the back of your hand.

PhaseWhat happens
1. PlantPlant the first card in your hand. You may plant the next one too.
2. Turn & TradeFlip 2 cards from the deck face up, then trade.
3. Plant TradesEveryone plants the cards they got in phase 2.
4. DrawDraw 3 cards, one at a time, to the back of your hand.

Trading (Phase 2)

  • Only the active player trades. Others trade with them, never with each other.
  • The active player can offer the 2 face-up cards and any cards from their hand.
  • Other players offer cards from anywhere in their hand.
  • Donations are allowed: you can give cards away for nothing.
  • When trading ends, the active player must keep any face-up cards nobody took.

Planting After Trading (Phase 3)

  • Everyone plants at the same time: cards from trades, donations, and the active player's leftover face-up cards.
  • Plant them in any order you like.
  • Every one must be planted. You can never add them to your hand.

Harvesting to Make Room

  • Each field holds one bean type. A card goes on a field with the same bean or an empty field.
  • No legal field? Harvest a field first to make room.
  • Harvest a field any time, even on another player's turn.
  • Harvesting takes the whole field. Count the cards, check the coin row on the card, and flip that many to their coin side. Discard the rest.
  • Bean protection: you can't harvest a field with 1 card while you have another field with 2 or more.
