About the game
The garden of Tropika is under attack and requires every animal to choose which side of the plot they will play for! Use your petal powers to either defend or attack, and tilt each battle of this war to your favour. Game Objective: Be the best petal plotter by achieving an animal's victory condition that is determined by the last card they hold at game end. Game Play: From a hand of cards, players either uses an Animal Ability or adds and Animal into their Garrison. A game ends when all players have no more cards in hand. All cards in everyone's Garrisons are revealed then all the Petal Powers on all cards are totaled up together. The player who achieved the Victory Condition on the last card they held wins the game. Play a total of 3 games and assign Victory Points (VPs) to winning players based on which Victory Condition they achieved. After the 3rd game, the player with the highest VPs wins!
