The Plantalea game
Choose your plants, pick a category and compare scores. Win more rounds than your opponent to win the match.
The Plantalea game
Each player chooses five Plant cards from their collection — you decide your line-up, not a random draw. Choose one Action card: an Accessory or a Pest. A mat is optional — any table works.
Your five Plants compete one at a time. Repeat these steps for each pair, using a different category each time.
Both players reveal the next Plant in their chosen line-up.
The caller picks a category that has not been used in this match.
Each player can reveal their one Action now, or save it for a later comparison. Once used, it is gone for this game.
Apply any eligible Action effects. The higher final score wins one point.
Set aside the revealed Plants and played Actions. Mark the category used. The other player calls next.
Compare only the category called. Use the number printed on the card: a higher score wins.
The card’s light score.
The card’s water score.
The card’s humidity score.
The card’s collector rarity score.
A higher Care score means the plant is easier to care for.
These are game scores, not plant-care instructions.
Your single face-down Action is a surprise. Reveal it during any one comparison to turn the scores in your favour — but only if its printed effect covers the category being compared.
+15
Add the printed bonus to your own Plant’s score.
−10
Subtract the printed penalty from your opponent’s score.
One Action card per player for the whole five-Plant game. Use it once during any one comparison, then set it aside. Accessories boost your own Plant; Pests reduce your opponent’s score. Rarity is never changed by Actions.
One quick example
You play Grow Light: +15 to Light.
70 + 15 = 85. Their score stays at 58. You win the round and earn one point.
If your opponent has saved a Pest that affects Light, they can reveal it now. Apply its printed penalty before comparing.
After five rounds, the player with the most points wins. A tied round gives neither player a point.
Play sudden death: each player uses one extra available Plant card, then choose a category at random. The higher printed score wins. Repeat with another available Plant if needed.
If either player uses their remaining Action, apply its printed effect to the category being compared. An Accessory helps its owner; a Pest hinders the opponent. For example: add 15 to your own Care with an eligible Accessory, or subtract 10 from your opponent’s Water with an eligible Pest. Keep final scores between 1 and 99. Each Action can be used once.
Wagering is optional. If both players agree to play for a card, each player presents one wager card before the game starts. Set these cards aside so you both know what is at stake. The winner keeps their own wager card and takes the opponent’s wager card. Choose carefully before you begin — the wager is fixed at the start.
Yes. For a practice match, use five standard Plant cards each and leave out Actions and wagers. Keep the same five-round format. Add the full rules once you are comfortable.
For a collection cycle, play five matches with fresh Plants before resetting your collection.
Use five available Plants each.
All five enter your resting pile after the match.
Resting Plants cannot be selected again in this cycle.
All resting Plants you still own become available again.
A Plant won during the cycle rests until the reset too. You will need 25 available Plants each to complete five matches, plus extra cards for any sudden-death rounds.
