Arboretum is a two-to four-player game in which players attempt to create carefully planned paths between trees. Players take turns Drawing cards from the Deck and Discard piles, placing one card in their Arboretum and discarding another card. The game ends when there are no cards left in the deck. Use the above resources in addition to the rules description below. In case of any ambiguities, please consult Plazza for a clarification Note there are some modifications in our version, so you must read this page in its entirety. If you have any confusions please search the class Piazza forum and post a new question if you can't find your answer. Components The cards in the game have 10 different suits" which correspond to 10 species of trees each with a unique colour. Within each species there are 8 cards numbered 1 to 8. This assignment will focus on a 2 player version of the game in which only 6 of the 10 species are used, making up a total deck size of 48. Game Setup Each player has their own arboretum, discard pile and hand. Before the game starts, the following should be completed before the first player takes their turn. 1. The Deck is filled with 48 cards made up of 6 species of trees, and is shuffled (8 species are used for the three-player game and all 10 species for the four-player games). 2. Each player randomly draws 7 cards from the deck. 3. Player A takes the first turn We will be playing a two-player game, but you may extend your game to accommodate up to four players. Player Turn The game is played over multiple turns alternating between players, where each turn is composed of a sequence of three actions: 1 Draw 2 cards. 2. Play 1 card to arboretum 3. Discard 1 card. In more detail:
Draw a On each turn a player draws 2 cards. They may draw randomly from the deck, or they may draw the top card from any player's discard pile (including their own!). You may look at the first card you draw before deciding where to draw the second card from • It is possible to draw both cards from the same location or from separate locations. This makes it possible to draw two cards deep into the discard pile of any player on a single turn The cards in the deck remain hidden, so the players do not know precisely what cards remain in the deck Play After drawing the player then plays face up a card from their hand to their arboretum. Their arboretum is a grid where only a single card can occupy each space on the grid. if it is the player's first turn they can play a card anywhere in their arboretum . For each subsequent turn cards must be played adjacent (horizontally or vertically to one or more cards already in their arboretum. There is no explicit limit on the size of a player's arboretum in any direction. However, in practice it will be bounded by the number of cards that can be played, as determined by the finite deck size and end game condition. Discard The player discards a card from their hand face up to their discard pile. This can be any card from your hand, including a card you drew this turn. After discarding, you should have exactly 7 cards in your hand. End of Game Scoring The game ends when there are no more cards in the deck. The player who drew the last card finishes their turn normally, and then scoring occurs. The player with the highest score wins Gaining the Right to Score For each tree species, each player reveals the cards of that species in their hand, and sums their values (each card 1 to 8). The player with the highest sum for that species gains the right to score their single highest scoring path for that species in their arboretum. If there is a tie, all tied players gain the right to score their highest scoring path of that species Exception if you have the "8* of a species in hand, but an opponent has the "t" of that species in hand, the value "a" is considered to be "O instead when determining who has the highest sum. (the "T" is always considered to be "1").
Note 1: It's possible to gain the right to score points for a species that is not present in your arboretum. In this case, you will not gain any points for that species. Note 2: If no player has cards of a particular species in hand, all players gain the right to score points for their highest scoring path of that species. Scoring Paths A path is a sequence of orthogonally adjacent cards of ascending value, where the first and last cards in the path are of the same species. Each card in the path must have a value greater than the card before it, but the values do not have to be consecutive. The only cards that must match the species you have gained the right to score are the first and last card. The cards in between can be of any species. To score a path use the following criteria: 1. Score 1 point for each card in the path. 2. Score 1 additional point for each card in the path if the path is at least 4 cards long and all cards in the path are the same species. 3. Score 1 additional point if the path begins with 1 4. Score 2 additional points if the path ends with "B" Noto 1: A card may be used in different paths for different species Note 2: You may only score one path for each species, so choose your highest scoring path for that species!

In the above example, the blue path is 4567 and the green path is 1m2nnnj8 The green path 11256j8 is worth 8 points in total, . 5 points for the length extra point because it starts with a 't: • 2 extra points because it ends with an 's The blue path 34353637 is also worth 8 points in total • 4 points for the length an extra d points for the length because the path is at least 4 cards long and every card in the path is of the same species Winner The winner is the player who has scored the most points. In the case of a tie, the player with the most different species present in their arboretum wins. If there is still at the tied players should plant a tree and the player whose tre has grown the tallest in five years time is the winner (We will consider the game to be a tle in this scenariol)
