Wish Cards

Components

12 Wish cards

Setup

Shuffle the 12 Wish cards and give 2 to each player. Each player chooses one, reveals it, and discards the card not chosen.

Rules

Wish cards represent the wishes of the 4 elements that nourish the forces of nature. The left side of the card is the wish request, and the right side shows the reward for completing the request. At the end of the game, players who have completed their wish gain the reward shown.

When multiple players tie for the most spirit tokens, favor tokens, gemstones, or tiles with two spirit symbols on them, all tied players are considered to have the most.

There are 4 types of requests:

1. Most spirit tokens of one type.
2. Most favor tokens of any type.
3. Most gemstones.
4. Most tiles with two spirit symbols on them.

There are 2 types of rewards:

1. Gain one or more spirit symbols.
2. Gain one favor token, chosen from among the tokens removed during the Setup phase.

At the end of the game, before scoring nature points, all players check their Wish card.

• The first player's Wish card requests the most favor tokens. The first player has 0 favor tokens, while the other players have 2, 2, and 4. The first player does not have the most, therefore they get no reward.
• The second player's Wish card requests the most Dew Drops. The second player has 3 Dew Drops, while the other players have 1, 1, and 2. Since the second player meets this request, they gain the spirit on the right side of the card as the reward.
• The third player's Wish card requests the most gemstones. The third player has 2 gemstones, while the other players have 0, 1, and 1. Since the third player has more gemstones than the other players, they meet the request and immediately receive one favor token from those removed during setup.
• The fourth player's Wish card requests the most tiles with two spirit symbols. The fourth player has 6 spirit tiles with two spirit symbols, while the other players have 1, 5, and 5. Since the player meets this request, they gain the spirit on the right side of the card as a reward.

Hex Cards

Components

8 Hexes cards

Setup

Shuffle the 8 Hex cards and give 2 to each player. Each player chooses one, reveals it, and discards the card not chosen.

Rules

Hex cards represent the hexes of the 4 elements that nourish the forces of nature. The left side of the card is the hex request, and the right side shows the penalty if the request is not met at the end of the game.

When multiple players tie for the least spirits, spirit tokens, or power source icons, all tied players are considered to have the least.

There are 3 types of hex requests:

1. Avoid having the least of two specific spirit types.
2. Avoid having the least number of favor tokens.
3. Avoid having the least power source icons.

There is only one type of penalty:

1. Lose 6 nature points.

At the end of the game, after scoring nature points, all players check their Hex card.

• The first player's Hex card requests that the player not have the lowest number of green and yellow spirits. The player has 0 green and 1 yellow spirits, while the other players have 4, and 1 green spirits, and have 3, and 4 yellow spirits. The first player has the least of both spirit types, and therefore loses 6 nature points.
• The second player's Hex card requests that the player not have the lowest number of favor tokens. The second player has 2 favor tokens, while the other players have 4, and 2. Unfortunately the second player has the least or is tied for the least favor tokens, and loses 6 nature points.
• The third player's Hex card requests that the player not have the lowest number of power source icons. The third player has 12, while the other players have 7, and 8. Since the third player does not have the least among the other players, their score is not modified.
