Collecting leaves in the garden has never been so much fun.
Take a card, place it on another card on the table, cover one or two spaces with leaves and try to get the largest area of connected leaves of your color. That's how easy it is to play Autumn!
Autumn arrives and the landscape turns orange and ochre. Little by little, the trees shed their leaves, which fall to the ground in colorful carpets. You and your companion could collect the leaves in the garden, but first you think of something more fun: you'll choose a type of leaf and after a few moves with the rake, the winner will be the one who is able to create the largest surface with his group. Ready to go?
To begin, shuffle all the cards and place them in a deck with the leaves hidden. Reveal the first card and place it on the table. The first player (chosen at random) reveals another card and plays it over the first. The second player, before starting his turn, chooses the color of the leaves each player will play with: red or yellow. After this decision, the same player reveals a new card, plays it and passes his turn. Play continues as normal, with both players alternating turns until the deck is exhausted.
The most important rule to remember is that cards are always played on top of each other on the table, in the same direction: it's possible to rotate it 180 degrees, but not 90. When laying down the card, one or two leaf spaces must be overlapped.
Overlapping spaces can be of any color, but need not be identical.
Once all the cards have been placed, the player with the largest area of connected leaves of his or her color wins the game. Leaf spaces are only considered connected if they are orthogonally adjacent, i.e. they are in contact on the sides and not on the corners (diagonal spaces are not considered connected).In any case, the winner still can't celebrate!
Autumn is designed to be played in three rounds.After completing the third round, add up and compare the number of squares obtained by each player to determine the winner.
The solitaire mode also features three different challenges:Garden, Balance and Two. In this mode, the game is played with both colors at the same time, also trying to create zones with leaf spaces of the same color.Depending on the challenge chosen, we'll score points one way or another.In the Garden challenge, at the end, we choose the three zones with the most leaves (whatever their color) and count the number of spaces in each. The score for this game is the smallest of these three numbers.In the "Balance" challenge, you have to get three zones with the same number of spaces in each. Finally, in the second challenge, you must try to obtain just two zones, with no unconnected colored spaces outside either of them.
