Sapling Scramble

What is Sapling Scramble

Sapling Scramble is a fast-paced, set-collecting card game for 2-5 players that takes 3 minutes to learn and 10 minutes to play. Make deals or deceive your opponents, steal their cards, and collect ingredients from the forest floor as you race to be the first to brew 3 potions. But watch out! Berrybombs are hidden away in people's hands to shake up the game, and magical Crystal wild cards are highly coveted ingredients!

You play as the adorable Sapling, scuttling about the forest floor gathering ingredients from beneath a tree. The deck of ingredients cards is placed face-down in the center of the table, and is known as the Tree. To start the game, you "Shake the Tree", revealing 8 face-up cards around the Tree Each. The Sapling of the group, or the youngest player, goes first.

Each turn, you take 1 of 3 actions before play continues to the left:

Steal a card from an opponent's hand
