Game sequence

If you're on the train, you can do exactly two actions.

You can choose from the following train options:

A. Creating landscape sleepers

B. Take a map on the hand

C. Play card from hand (values)

D. Remove herd

You may choose 2 different actions or twice the same.

landscape plot

Take 1 of the openly exposed landscapes from the general edition and put it in your field. You put your first scenic flat in front of you.

Each other platelet is placed horizontally or vertically so that it adjoins your other platelets with at least one side.

You can put any landscapes together.

If you create a square of 4 different or 4 identical landscapes, you can place a tree in the middle of the 4 platelets.

To do this, you will return 5 fields to the front with your counter.

Each landscape plate can only be used for 1 tree.

You have to decide in the same action where you created the landscape plate, whether you want to use a tree. You can't use the tree later.

If trees are no longer in general stock, you can no longer use a tree.

You can continue to use cows on these platelets.

Special case: If you have chosen the action "Apply 1 Scenic Ponds" and are in the edition 4 or 5 Scenic Ponds of the same variety, you may exchange the entire general platelet edition before you take a platelet.

Take a map on the hand

Take 1 of the open cards from the delivery to your hand.

There is no card limit. So you can hold as many cards as you like.

Special case: If you have selected the action "Take 1 Card on Hand" and all 4 cards in the output show at least 1 same landscape type, you can exchange the entire card template before taking a card.

Play map from hand (values)

You are playing 1 card from your hand to place cows from your stock on your field. For this, you will get the points specified on the map. Each card shows landscape plots that form a certain shape.

You can only play a card if you meet all the conditions:

1. Your field contains the form shown on the map.
2. The open landscapes are at the right places.
3. There is no cow on the open landscape plate.
4. You have enough cows in your stock to use 1 cow on the open landscapes.

Most maps also show the backs of the landscape plots. At these places you can find any type of landscape and you can also play the map if there is a cow on these landscapes.

You may turn the card as desired to fulfill the conditions. But you must not reflect the shape.

If you have fulfilled all the necessary conditions, you may play the card and have to put 1 cow from your stock on each of the openly depicted landscape plates.

On landscape plates with the back, you don't set a cow!

Then use your counter on the point bar to forward the points specified on the card.

To play the card, pull it up, then move on to the green circle on the map and let go.

Then click the cows on the map to place them.

Remove herd

If you take cows back, you can get free places on your field and fill up your stock at the same time.

You can take back exactly 1 herd with this action.

A herd is a group of 1 - 6 cows which are directly horizontal or vertically adjacent.

Whenever you get points, you will return your counter to the point bar by so many fields forward.

If you reach or exceed one of the bonus fields, you will receive the bonus shown immediately.

Playing and valuing

Once someone has reached at least 65 points at the end of the train, the game is initiated.

You'll finish the round, so everyone's on the train.

You still get points for one of your two score plates.

Who then has the most points wins the game.

At the same time, the higher number of landscape plots is decided.

Attention! Should the case occur that at the end of a train you can no longer fill up the leaflets to 5 before someone reaches 65 points, the game ends prematurely.
