## Rules questions

### On my turn can I take both a point card and veggie cards, or only one of those options?

You may draft either one point card from the top of any draw pile OR two veggie cards from the market on your turn — you cannot take both in the same turn (page 5).

### When I take a point card from a draw pile, do I take the whole pile or just the top card?

You take just the top point card from the draw pile you choose, not the entire pile (page 5).

### Can I flip a point card into a veggie, and when can I do that?

Once per turn as an optional free action you may flip any one of your point cards (drafted this turn or earlier) to its veggie side; you cannot flip a veggie into a point card (page 5).

### How is the veggie market refilled and what if a draw pile runs out?

After drafting, refill empty market slots by drawing from the corresponding draw piles and flip those cards to the veggie side; if a draw pile runs out, split the largest pile roughly in half and move the bottom half to replace the empty pile (keeping the top card of the largest pile in place) (page 6).

### Can the same veggie card count for multiple point cards, and can point cards score more than once?

Yes — each veggie card in your tableau is considered when resolving every point card, so the same veggie can contribute to multiple point cards and point cards can score multiple times; for "most" style cards, a tied highest amount still awards the points to the player with the point card (page 7).

### When setting up and removing cards for player count, are we allowed to look at the point-card backs?

No — when removing or counting cards for setup you must do so without looking at the point-card backs, and any removed cards should be returned to the box so players do not see which point cards were removed (page 4).
