Nekonyancer[img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/https___snipboard.io_QDEgIo.jpg[/img] You and your teammates have been appointed as the new royal gardeners! Your job is to decorate the royal garden in a manner that will appease the Queen of Hearts. Unfortunately, the Queen seems to be more interested in [red]removing your heads[/red] than having a beautiful garden! [green][tip] This tutorial is best viewed on a computer![/green]1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000
Nekonyancer*Paint the Roses* is a cooperative deduction game where you work together with your teammates to stay one step ahead of the Queen's Axe! [red]Don't mess up![/red] If you do, well... [img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/https___snipboard.io_pqLsXB.jpg[/img]2archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000
NekonyancerAt the beginning of the game, each player must draw a *Whim card.* Whim cards come in three difficulties: [green]*easy,*[/green] [blue]*medium,*[/blue] and [red]*hard.*[/red]3deck_1000deck_0 8 deck_1 7 deck_2 6
NekonyancerOur teammate, [blue]*Nekonyancer,*[/blue] just took a Medium card. Let's start with an easy one. [green][tip] Only one player can have an easy card at a time![/green] *Click on the Easy deck!*1deck_063eb666a6f1c110deck_0 16 player_board_11941354 7
NekonyancerLet's take a look at the card we drew. It features *two colored shrubs* (all easy cards do). If our teammate can guess the colors on this card, we'll get *1 point,* as shown in the bottom-right corner of the card. [blue]So how can we get our teammate to do that?[/blue]1card_9214348763eb66725ba7400
NekonyancerFor that, we'll have to take our turn! [blue]Each turn is divided into five steps:[/blue] *1.* Place a tile. *2.* Place clue tokens. *3.* Guess a whim card. *4.* Move the queen. *5.* Replenish.2greenhouse_board63eb66725ba7400
Nekonyancer*Step 1: Place a tile.*--- First, we must select one of four shrub tiles from [green]*the greenhouse.*[/green] Then we can plant it on any open space in the Queen's garden!3greenhouse_board63eb66725ba7400greenhouse_board 8
NekonyancerLet's try it! *1. Select this Yellow-heart shrub.* *2. Place it on the indicated spot!*4tile_greenhouse_363eb66725ba7410tile_space_4_8 16 tile_greenhouse_3 17
Nekonyancer*Step 2: Place clue tokens.*---Clue tokens refer to cubes, which match the colors of the players in the game. Looks like [red]*two of our clue tokens*[/red] were placed here, along with [blue]*0 of our teammate's.*[/blue]1tile_4_863eb66c340e9800clue_ba55d3_4_8 1 clue_483d8b_4_8 2
NekonyancerHere's the rule that makes this game so cool: [blue]Each token represents one time where the placed shrub and an adjacent shrub matched the pattern on your whim card![/blue] Don't worry, I'll elaborate.2tile_4_863eb66c340e9800
NekonyancerRemember, our *Whim card* shows a *yellow* shrub and a *pink* shrub. Since the [blue]*shrub we placed*[/blue] is yellow, and this [red]*adjacent shrub*[/red] is pink, it matches our card! Placing a pink shrub next to a yellow one would have worked too.3tile_4_863eb66c340e9800tile_3_7 1 tile_4_8 2
NekonyancerOur [blue]*placed shrub*[/blue] also matches [red]*this shrub down here*[/red] though! That means *two matches,* and thus, *two tokens on the placed shrub!*4tile_5_963eb66c340e9800tile_4_8 2 tile_5_9 1
NekonyancerNote that cubes for your teammate, [blue]*Nekonyancer,*[/blue] were placed here as well! Exactly *zero* of them were placed here, which means the placed shrub and adjacent shrubs match Nekonyancer's whim card *zero times!* [blue]You'll see later why this matters.[/blue]5clue_483d8b_4_863eb66c340e9800clue_483d8b_4_8 2
NekonyancerBy the way, the number at the bottom of the shrub (1) indicates the *order* in which shrubs were planted. [blue]Thus, the next shrub to be planted will be marked with a *2.*[/blue]6tile_4_863eb66c340e9800
Nekonyancer*Step 3: Guess a whim card!*---We *must* select one player's Whim card, which the rest of the group must *guess* correctly! You can discuss this upcoming action with your teammates, if you like! [red]!!![/red] You can point out deductions about your teammate's Whim cards, but *please* refrain from doing so for your own card!7archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment63eb66c340e9800
NekonyancerOur card should be pretty clear to our teammate. *Click on your own Whim card!*8card_9214348763eb66c340e9810card_92143487 16
Nekonyancer*Good!* Now [blue]*Nekonyancer*[/blue] has to enter his guess! Let's hope he read the shrubs correctly...1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment63eb66c9e30e800
Nekonyancer*Huzzah!* They correctly guessed *yellow-pink!* We gained one point as a reward. [red]*The gardener*[/red] moved one space along the track to show this!1gardener_score_token63eb66d7e5fc100gardener_score_token 1
NekonyancerIf we like, we can select *another* player's card to be guessed, but we don't have to. You are only required to guess *one* card per turn. We don't have any information about our teammate's card yet, so we should stop here. *Click on "End guess!"*2btnSkipGuess63eb66d7e5fc110btnSkipGuess 16
Nekonyancer*Step 4: Moving the Queen!*---This is the [red]*Queen of Hearts.*[/red] When we ended our guesses, she advanced on the track. The big black number on her figure shows how many spaces she will move. There's a 1, so she moved 1 space.1queen_score_token63eb66eb9d62800queen_score_token 1
NekonyancerIf she catches [red]*us,*[/red] it's *off with our heads!* Uh, that means we'll lose.2gardener_score_token63eb66eb9d62800gardener_score_token 1
NekonyancerIn order to keep our heads, we need to stay - ahem - aHEAD! :) Eventually, we'll encounter the [blue]*White Rabbit.*[/blue] Whenever we cross his path, the Queen's speed increases by *1,* up to a maximum of *5,* and the Rabbit scurries off to his [red]*next burrow.*[/red]3rabbit_token63eb66eb9d62800rabbit_token 7 rabbit_space_1 1
Nekonyancer[red]*Phase 5: Replenish.*[/red]---Anyone whose card was guessed must take a new card. That means us! *Take a medium card this time!*4deck_163eb66eb9d62810deck_1 16
Nekonyancer*Good!* Another shrub was placed in the greenhouse to replace the one we planted. [blue]And that's the end of our turn![/blue] Now our teammate will take their turn...1tile_greenhouse_263eb66f684eb400
NekonyancerHmm. They placed a *Purple Heart* shrub here, and [blue]*2*[/blue] of their tokens were placed on it.1tile_4_463eb6746c21d700clue_483d8b_4_4 2
Nekonyancer[blue]Well, this seems pretty clear![/blue] If they have *two* matches, that must mean they match [red]*these two yellow tiles.*[/red] Their card is obviously *yellow-purple!*2tile_5_363eb6746c21d700tile_4_6 1 tile_5_3 1
Nekonyancer... or it would be, if it were an *Easy* card! [red]However, our teammate's card is a *Medium!*[/red] Medium cards can sometimes show two colors, like easy cards, but they can also show *two shapes,* like this: [img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/https___snipboard.io_Q1o8J6.jpg[/img]3card_inner_1194135463eb6746c21d700player_board_11941354 1
NekonyancerSo their card could be *Purple-yellow,* matching [blue]*these two shrubs...*[/blue]4tile_5_363eb6746c21d700tile_4_6 2 tile_5_3 2
Nekonyancer... But it could also be *Heart-Heart,* matching [red]*these two shrubs!*[/red]5tile_5_363eb6746c21d700tile_3_5 1 tile_5_3 1
NekonyancerDespite our uncertainty, one card must be guessed each turn, and [blue]*Nekonyancer*[/blue] selected his own card for this! We can't be sure what it is... uh... let's go with *Purple-Yellow!* *Click on "Guess the Whim card" at the top!"* *Enter Purple + Yellow and confirm your answer!*1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment63eb67840421a10
Nekonyancer*Eep!* Our guess was *WRONG!* [blue]2 things happen when a wrong answer is submitted:[/blue] *1.* The guessing phase immediately ends. *2.* The Queen moves [red]twice[/red] as many spaces as usual!1queen_score_token63eb67a55276300
NekonyancerIt's our turn again. *Place the indicated shrub on the indicated space!*2archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment63eb67a55276310tile_space_2_4 16 tile_greenhouse_1 16
Nekonyancer*2* of our cubes were placed because the [blue]*placed shrub*[/blue] matches [red]*both of these adjacent shrubs.*[/red] Remember though, our card is a *Medium.*1tile_2_463eb67f97407000tile_1_3 1 tile_2_4 2 tile_3_5 1
NekonyancerSo our two tokens could indicate a *Red-Red* card, matching [red]*these two shrubs...*[/red]3tile_3_563eb67f97407000tile_1_3 1 tile_3_5 1
Nekonyancer... or a *Heart-Spade* card, matching [blue]*these two shrubs!*[/blue] Our teammate has no way of knowing, but one card *must* be guessed every turn!4tile_3_563eb67f97407000tile_1_3 2 tile_2_6 2
Nekonyancer*Wait a sec!* This is *2-player game,* which means we get these [red]*three cubes.*[/red] Each one allows us to *Skip* the guessing phase! We won't get any points, but at least the queen won't get a double-move! *Click on "Skip guess" at the top!*7clue_skip_guess__363eb67f97407010btnSkipGuess 16 clue_skip_guess__1 1 clue_skip_guess__2 1 clue_skip_guess__3 1
NekonyancerOur teammate went again, and they placed this *Red-Diamond* shrub here. Huh? *Zero* cubes were placed here? What are we supposed to do with that?!1tile_2_863eb688891ee900
Nekonyancer*Oof!* And now [blue]*Nekonyancer*[/blue] chose not to skip! He selected his own card for guessing and is now looking at us expectantly... *Can you figure out what his card is?* (cough)lookatthearrows(cough)1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment63eb68b3c79ea00clue_483d8b_2_4 12 tile_2_8 12 other_stuff_wrap_11941354 12
Nekonyancer[blue]Let's break this down.[/blue] *Fact 1:* they have a *Medium* card, so it must be *color-to-color* or *shape-to-shape.*2card_inner_1194135463eb68b3c79ea00
Nekonyancer*Fact 2:* 1 cube was placed over here (see arrow). That can match... - [red]*this shrub,*[/red] suggesting a *Red-Purple* card, OR - [blue]*this shrub,*[/blue] suggesting a *Heart-Heart* card.3tile_3_563eb68b3c79ea00clue_483d8b_2_4 12 tile_2_6 1 tile_3_5 2
NekonyancerDo you see where this is going? *Fact 3:* There are no cubes [red]*here.*[/red] If he had a *Red-Purple* card, there would be two cubes here!4tile_3_763eb68b3c79ea00tile_2_8 1
NekonyancerSince *Red-Purple* is out, their card must be *Heart-Heart!* *Enter Heart-Heart as your guess!*5archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment63eb68b3c79ea10btnGuessWhimDialog 16
NekonyancerWoo!! We got it!! :D [blue]The game will continue as you've seen until one of two things happens:[/blue] - You lose your heads (and the game), OR - You fill up every space in the garden AND still have your heads at the end of that turn! [green]In that case, you all win![/green]1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment63eb68c40e95b00
NekonyancerI just have a few more things to mention before you go! First, I haven't explained [red]*Hard*[/red] cards. [blue]They can show:[/blue] *- 2 shapes,* like medium cards. *- 2 colors,* like easy or medium cards. *- 1 shape and 1 color,* like this: [img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/https___snipboard.io_Osa5Bd.jpg[/img] [green]It is recommended that you avoid them for your first game![/green]2deck_263eb68c40e95b00deck_2 6
NekonyancerSecond, these are [blue]*Cheshire Kitten*[/blue] cards. Aren't they cute? They're just like *objective cards* that you might find in many other games. Hover over them with your mouse, and the tooltip will explain how they work. [green]If you want to play with them, you'll have to switch them on in the lobby options![/green]3cheshire_kitten_163eb68c40e95b00cheshire_kitten_1 7 cheshire_kitten_2 7
NekonyancerThird, sometimes your deductions can get really complicated, especially when there are multiple players and Whim cards to keep track of! But if you click on the [red]*small white sheets under each player's name,*[/red] it will bring up a notepad made specifically for that player's Whim card! [green]In a real game, you'll be able to click on individual boxes to make Xs or check marks![/green]4archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment63eb68c40e95b00notepad_link_92143487 6 notepad_link_11941354 6

A big thank you goes out to *ufm* for bringing this game to BGA! Have fun! :D5archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment63eb68c40e95b00
