Correction for the setup: you’ll pull one pollinator token to place in the center of play area and draw a second token and place to the side for the “next up token” Correction for Gameplay: Attract Action: place a next up token when two different color tiles are adjacent to each other not the same color.

Great review, I nabbed this at Gen Con because it looked so nice and fun with the easy gameplay. Thank you for going through it! One thing about the Attract action as described in the video (5:35). There need to be two different colors at a spot for a pollinator token to be attracted. From the rules: "If there is an empty pollinator token spot adjacent to at least two garden cards from different players, fill in the empty spot with the “next up” token." I did a double take and went to the book. That said, new subscriber - I really like how you went through the gameplay and look forward to more in the future!

I've gotten in four plays in the last week! The game is showing a lot more tactical depth and challenge than I anticipated. I'm really glad I picked it up.
