Paint The Roses

In the confusing world of Alice in Wonderland, you and your friends are the new royal gardeners.

You work together to complete the palace gardens at the whim of the Queen of Hearts. Use strategy, logic, and teamwork to finish the garden while staying one step ahead of the Queen, or the last thing you'll hear is "Cut their heads off!"

The Queen's whims are communicated through cards, secret instructions that each player receives on how the garden should be arranged. Her whims are constantly changing, so as soon as you resolve one, you have a new one in your hand.

Each turn, the team must guess at least one of these secret cards. You can't tell what your card shows, but by carefully placing a new shrub tile in the garden (from the ones available in the greenhouse), you can reveal clues, tokens that will show any correspondence between the arrangement in the garden and the secret whims each player is holding in their hand.

Although you cannot discuss your own secret whim card, you can openly discuss the other players'. Share your theories at the table, then guess. If you guess a whim correctly, you advance on the score track, but the Queen always follows you and her speed automatically adjusts according to your current score. If you guess wrong, the Queen moves twice as fast, her axe always coming closer to your neck.
