Turn ActionsPlayer Turn · In 2 guides

On your turn, choose one of the following:

1. Place a Worker on an available location on the board to gain resources, draw cards, or take other actions. Only one worker per location (exceptions: some locations allow multiple).

2. Play a Card from your hand into your city by paying its resource cost. Some cards can be played for free if you have the prerequisite Critter or Construction in your city.

3. Prepare for Season — retrieve all your placed workers, gain 1 new worker (except in Autumn), and draw cards based on the season you're entering: - Spring: Draw 2 cards - Summer: Draw 2 cards - Autumn: Draw 3 cards

Limits

  • Hand limit: Max 8 cards. If you exceed 8, discard down to 8 immediately.
  • City limit: Max 15 cards in your city at any time. You cannot play a card that would exceed this.
  • Worker limit: You only have the workers you've unlocked — you cannot place more than you have.

Cards are either a Critter or a Construction. Each card also belongs to one of five types, shown by the colored banner on the card. Many cards have paired Critter/Construction combos — owning one lets you play the other for free.
