15 Days ^ 2024

Natural phenomena have had an odd behaviour lately, seasons seem to have been disrupted and animals are migrating in the wrong direction. The 24 East Asian traditional solar terms are out of sync.
Your seasons must find their alignment so the sun can find its route again and set the order right among all living things.

In 15 days, you will take alternating turns until a player completes all 4 Season sets, or when 1 of the 2 season stacks is empty.

On each turn players choose 2 out of 4 possible actions:

Take 2 Season cards from any of the two season stacks to your hand. You may choose a different season stack for each card you draw.

Take 1 face-up card from either the market by drafting the topmost card of one of the 3 Market columns or the topmost card from the discard pile.

Place cards in one of the four corners of your player card considering each corner can only contain a single season composed of one card of each number.
Placing cards can be done by discarding other cards from your hand.

Finally, you can discard 2 cards from your hand, that are identical to any of the season cards already played in front of you, to take a wild card.
Immediately place the wild card in a position of your choice where a number is missing.
The wild card replaces the missing number.

By having the majority of Season cards of 1 type, take the corresponding wooden animal. Wooden animals give different small advantages, like increasing your hand limit or getting a discount when placing cards.

At the end of the game score: 1 point per card, counting only the longest uninterrupted sequence of numbers in each season. 2 points for every Wooden animal you own, and -2 points for every empty corner on the player card.

The player with the most points will win the game.
