## Rules questions

### Can I reorder my hand or sort my cards between turns?

No — you may never change the order of the cards in your hand; the first card dealt is the first card in your hand and must remain visible at the front (page 2).

### Do I have to plant the first card in my hand every turn?

Yes — in Phase 1 you must plant the first (visible) card from your hand, and you may optionally plant the new first card that becomes visible, but you cannot plant a third card then (page 3).

### Who is allowed to trade, and can we use any cards from our hands in trades?

Only the active player may conduct trades with the other players (others may not trade among themselves); everyone may offer cards from their hands regardless of where they sit in the hand, and the active player may also use the two turned-over cards — but you may not trade cards already in your fields or cards you just received in a trade (page 4).

### If I win a trade, do traded cards go into my hand immediately?

No — cards you receive in trade are placed horizontally next to your fields (not added to your hand) and must be planted during Phase 3 (pages 4–5).

### Can I harvest only part of a field or harvest a single-card field while another field has multiple cards?

You must harvest an entire field (you cannot harvest only part of a field), and the Bean Protection Rule forbids harvesting a single-card field as long as you have another field containing more than one bean card (pages 5–6).

### When I draw at the end of my turn where do the cards go, and what happens when the draw pile runs out?

In Phase 4 you draw three cards one after the other and place them at the back of your hand in the order drawn (page 5); if the draw pile is emptied you reshuffle the discard pile to form a new draw pile, and the game ends after the draw pile has run out for the third time (page 6).
