The Legend of the Cherry Tree

Blossoms for the master card

There is a cherry tree that only blossoms every ten years and grants wishes for most collected blossoms, but only if you are not too greedy. The bag holds blossom pieces in six colors; three master cards are displayed, and you have a screen.

The active player can draw blossoms up to three times from the bag; you must draw minimum one piece and can draw maximum eight pieces; if, after drawing, you do NOT have three pieces of the same color or five different ones, your draw was successful, and you may - if applicable - draw a second or third time. If you were not successful, you must set out pieces immediately, otherwise you set them out after your third draw or when you stop drawing voluntarily. If you failed, you set two pieces of different colors before your screen; the rest - including eventual black joker pieces - is put back into the bag. If you succeeded, you can fulfill a master card and use the bonus it gives and then select a color and put those pieces behind your screen, the rest goes before the screen. Pieces before the screen are sorted by color, black ones are assigned at the end of the game; behind the screen, you sort the pieces for warm - pink and yellow - and cold - light and dark blue - colors; both black and white are joker colors for assignment at the end of the game.

When the last blossom piece has been drawn, you score the number of blossoms in each color before your screen and a majority in warm- or cold-colored blossoms behind the screen.

A simple set collection game with chance and tactic that recommends itself by the nice topic and the very beautiful components.
