Fill gardens with a single colour or, alternatively, with 5 different ones. Add matching flowers and trees and score the most points! Always choose one of the rolled out coloured pencils and colour in the number of spaces indicated on the corresponding side of the gardens. Depending on the chosen score level, you earn points in different ways. You each have a score sheet of the same level, on which you colour in framed gardens. The starting player first rolls all the pencils, each of which has a different colour. On their sides are different numbers. These show how many squares you may colour in that colour on your score sheet. On your turn, you choose a pencil and colour in the number of squares indicated. These must be adjacent to each other, but also to previous coloured-in groups. You try to fill each garden with 1 colour or 5 different colours. If you succeed, you may colour in bonus points on your sheet. The game ends when one of the players has coloured in all his gardens completely or has failed to colour 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 increasing 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, which actually roll with pencils. This allows for many different game mechanics with the same playing material. But each game centres on colouring in the fields. Will you score the most points?
