Pick-a-Pen: Tuinen

Pick-a-Pen: Gardens is a game from the Pick-a-Pen series by renowned author Reiner Knizia and contains score sheets of 3 ascending levels. On score sheets 2 and 3 you will find flowers and trees, which can help you get extra bonus points in various ways.

Fill gardens with a single color or just 5 different ones. Place matching flowers and trees in them, and score the most points! Always choose 1 of the rolled color pencils and color the number of spaces indicated on the corresponding side on the gardens. Depending on the chosen score level, you earn points in different ways.

You each have a score sheet of the same level, on which you color in framed gardens. The starting player first rolls all the pencils, each of which has a different color. On their sides are different numbers. These show how many squares you may color in that color on your score sheet.

On your turn, you choose a pencil and color in the number of squares indicated. These must be adjacent to each other, as well as to previous colored-in groups. This way you try to fill each garden with 1 color or just 5 different colors. If you succeed, you may color in bonus points on your sheet. The game is over when one of the players has completely colored in all his gardens or failed to color 5 times.

The Pick-a-Pen series is a new generation of innovative Roll & Write games, in which real pencils are rolled. This allows for many different game mechanics with the same playing material. But in each game, coloring in fields is central.
