Quick answer
To set up the Herbaceous: Flavor Pack Mini Expansion, simply shuffle the three new flavor cards into the main deck before starting your game.
What the Flavor Pack adds to your game
The Herbaceous: Flavor Pack Mini Expansion introduces three new flavor cards: Cinnamon, Star Anise, and Peppercorn. When a flavor card is drawn, all players must perform the action printed on the card, if they can. After the actions are resolved, the card is discarded and the player continues their normal turn. This adds a layer of shared interaction without changing the core gameplay.
Step-by-step setup
- Open the Flavor Pack: Remove the three flavor cards (Cinnamon, Star Anise, Peppercorn) from the packaging. Do not mix them with the base deck yet. Common mistake: Opening the pack near other cards may cause accidental mixing before you're ready.
- Shuffle the flavor cards into the main deck: Take the base Herbaceous deck and shuffle the three flavor cards evenly into it. Make sure they are distributed throughout, not clumped together. Checkpoint: After shuffling, flip through the top few cards to confirm the flavor cards are spread out.
- Play as normal: Start the game using the standard Herbaceous rules. When a flavor card is drawn, read it aloud, perform the action (if possible), then discard it and continue the turn. If a player cannot perform the action (e.g., no plants in hand), simply discard the card and proceed.
