Herbaceous

Players act as herb collectors assembling a varied garden of herbs. Each player manages a personal collection area and a communal pile, drawing cards and choosing whether the drawn herb goes into their collection or into the communal pile; the choice alternates where the next card is placed. Each player has four single-use containers that permit different grouping actions (same type, all different, pairs, or any three). On a turn a player may use a container to form sets from cards in both personal and communal spaces, flip those cards to mark them as collected, and retire that container. Scoring combines card values, matching herbs, and completed sets to determine the best medley.
