You stand before a small slice of Australian wilderness, entrusted to your care and brimming with potential. Heaps of litter mar the landscape, waiting to be cleared. A once-majestic mango tree yearns to bear fruit again, its branches aching for the playful chatter of animals in its shade. Your mission is to breathe new life into this patch of nature through a competitive card drafting game. On each turn, you and your fellow players simultaneously select a card from your individual hands, then pass the rest to the next player.

The twist: each card you choose has two halves. You’ll tuck one half under your board, removing it from the game, while the other remains visible to score points. This adds a layer of strategy, as you must consider not only which halves to use for yourself, but also which to deny your opponents. When all cards have been played, the player who has created the most vibrant and point-rich ecosystem around their mango tree wins.
