The shop was said to be minute and yet terrifying all at once. The patrons were both thrilled and horrified by what was inside. The very idea of man-eating plants! Well here we are, you and your shopkeeper friends have embarked on a truly hair-raising experience this time. Armed with your cloned assistants, just break the glass when you need a new one! And a cavalcade of customers ready to buy the most exotic plants, only the plants look awfully hungry. Ah, maybe we should rope off that area so no one gets too close?

Your goal: Gain the most points by being the most clever greenthumb!

Players will be using worker placement to feed the plants in the shop or add new plants to the shop in the form of dominoes. Players will stacking dominoes to create new levels with each level scoring for the greatest number of a value, with lower floors being hidden as the players stack, will they know what’s down below and plant those matching flowers in their greenhouses?

This tricky game of playing dominoes for the value and also stacking them gives players an elevated gaming experience. There’s also a dice customer or two each round who might visit the shop. Hopefully you can keep the man eating plants from doing what they do best! Or you may want to feed your opponents’ cloned shop assistants to the plants, but be aware that they also get the bonus you earn for doing so, while losing an assistant of course.

The game ends when the last domino makes it to the shop. Players score their greenhouses as multipliers with each level, maximizing their scores as they go.
