Hutan: It Grows Fast, But Not Just Any Way

The game unfolds over 9 rounds, each consisting of 2 turns per player. Each turn is divided into three successive phases:

1. Planting Flowers

Choose a visible Flower card from the market, which indicates the flowers you collect. Place them on your personal board following four rules:

• Flowers must be placed orthogonally adjacent to each other.

• They must be placed on available spaces (not on lakes).

• They can be placed on a flower of the same color from a previous turn.

• The first flower must be adjacent to an existing one (except in the first turn).

Alternatively, you can choose the Pangolin token, allowing you to take a flower of your choice and become the first player in the next round.

2. Expanding the Forest

This phase allows your forest to grow:

• Grow a Tree: By placing a flower on another of the same color, you replace both with a tree, worth 2 points.

• Complete a Zone: A zone (2 to 5 spaces) filled with flowers of a single color scores points (2 to 5 depending on size). Incomplete or mixed-color zones incur negative points.

3. Populating a Habitat

If you have a perfect zone (complete and all flowers covered by trees), you can place an animal of the same color there. Each animal grants points based on its zone.

Bonus: When an animal is placed, you can fertilize orthogonally adjacent spaces by adding a flower of your choice for free.

🧮 End of Game and Scoring

After 9 rounds, the game ends. Tally up:

• Points from trees (2 points each)

• Points from animals (variable based on zone)

• Points from completed zones

• Penalties for incomplete or heterogeneous zones

🔁 Game Variants:

• Solo Mode: Features unique rules, achievements to unlock, and scenarios.
