Initial Setup: Players begin by planting and growing their first trees in areas adjacent to the water tiles, setting their initial strategy and appetite for risk.
Sun Die Roll: The active player rolls the sun die, and BOTH players grow trees in areas where they have grown tall enough to “catch” the sunlight.
Wind Die Roll: Next, the wind die is rolled to determine the directions in which outward growth is allowed.
Player Actions: The active player plants their trees, choosing either to grow their existing trees UPWARD or expand OUTWARD in the direction of the wind.
The game continues until all spaces on the board are occupied. The player who controls the most areas is declared the winner!
