About the game
Cinnamon, Star Anise, and Peppercorn add extra spice to Herbaceous's flavorful play! Rules When a flavor card is drawn, all players perform the action, if they can, starting with the player who drew the flavor card. After the actions are performed, the player then discards the flavor card from the game and continues their normal turn. Note: The flavor card does not count as a drawn herb.
