Hearts — The Garden
Use the Gardener to collect and plant flowers for permanent powers and Alice progress.
Gardener action
The Gardener may take an optional Tea for each adjacent colour space shown by the action. A Gardener resting in a space may take the free resource shown for that colour. Choose the lowest flower of a colour on the board, pay its Cake and Toast cost, take its printed board reward, then plant it in an empty space of the matching garden zone and take the cover reward. If that zone is full, put the flower in the resting area instead.
Flowers give permanent powers. You may have more than one of the same power; their effects stack where applicable.
Flower powers
- Pink: the first flower makes the wild column free; the second gives the row’s printed Time amount on the four central rows.
- Yellow: one raises your hand limit to 5; another lets you upgrade a card by paying 1 Time per tier, or receive 1 Time per tier when downgrading, before the normal purchase cost.
- Blue: one reduces the resource-purchase cost from 3 Time to 2; another lets you spend unlimited Tea to gain 2 Time per Tea.
- Orange: one reduces the repeat cost from 6 Time to 5; another reduces the repeat’s resource cost by 1.
Mini-action
The free Heart mini-action lets you take the lowest flower of either colour for free and take its board reward. Do not plant it or take a garden cover reward.
Garden milestones
The third flower of a colour advances that colour’s Alice. The fourth earns a mini-action. The fifth earns a crown. A mini-action lets you take the lowest flower of either colour for free and take its board reward. Do not plant it or take a garden cover reward.
