Fill gardens with a single color or with 5 different ones. Place suitable flowers and trees in it and score the most points!

You each have a score sheet of the same level, on which you color framed gardens. The starting player first rolls all the pencils, each of which has a different color. There are different numbers on its sides. These show how many boxes you can color in that color on your score sheet.

When it is your turn, choose a pencil and color in the indicated number of boxes. These must be adjacent to each other, but also to previous colored groups. This way you try to fill each garden with 1 color or 5 different colors. If you succeed, you can color in bonus points on your sheet. The game ends when one of the players has completely colored in all their gardens or has not been able to color in 5 times.

Pick-a-Pen: Gardens is a game from the Pick-a-Pen series by renowned author Reiner Knizia and contains score sheets of 3 ascending levels. On score sheets 2 and 3 you will find flowers and trees, which can help you get extra bonus points in various ways.

The Pick-a-Pen series is a new generation of innovative “Roll & Write” games that actually involve rolling pencils. This ensures that many different game mechanisms are made possible with the same playing material. But coloring fields is central to every game. Will you score the most points?
