## Description

In Herbaceous, herb collectors compete to grow and store the most valuable medley of herbs. Everyone starts with four containers, each of which allows a different grouping action: Group herbs of same type Group different types Group pairs Group any three types (same or different) On your turn, you draw a herb, then decide to either keep it in your personal collection or put in into the communal pile. If kept, the next card goes to the communal pile; if placed in the communal pile, the next card goes in your personal collection. At the start of your turn, you can decide to use a container. If so, you assemble cards from personal and communal spaces, group them, then turn them all over. You have then "collected" those and can't use the container again. At the end of the game, collectors determine the best collection as a combination of value from their collection, matching herbs, and herb sets.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this product come with the spices expansion?**
A: No. It doesn't I'd love to get the expansion, but this version here doesn't include the expansion from what I know that was kickstarter only

**Q: Are all three games the same game?**
A: If you are referring to the publisher's games that all come in the same size box, no they are not. The aesthetic art direction and shorter game length (about 15-20 minutes) all make them feel like they are part of a family, but that is all; all three games are different. Herbaceous will be familiar to those that have played traditional card games where you are trying to gather straight or "all of a kind" type game play.
