Renature
Renature is a majority game with dominoes for 2-4 players.
Each player gets a board with large pieces of wood in the form of turf; bushes; pines and oaks. These plants are used for the majorities on the large valley board and are available in a neutral color and in the respective player color. In addition; each player gets a stack of dominoes with two out of ten animal motifs on each of them.
On your turn; place one of the three dominoes in your hand on two brook spaces of the valley board. Of course; the domino must be adjacent to another domino that shows the same animal. If the placed domino borders a free space of a brown area; you can decide whether a tuft of grass or any other of your plants should be placed on that space. Tufts of turf have a value of 1; bushes of 2; pines of 3 and oaks of 4. After placing the plant; you score points for it and every plant piece that is already in this brown area and has the same or a lower value.
Once a brown area is framed with dominoes; the majority is scored and the player with the highest total plant value in the area gets the points that are printed as a large number on that area's flower token. Whoever has the second highest value gets the lower number. Two things make this especially tricky: The neutral pieces count as their own color and not among the majority of the player who has used them. Also; if colors are tied; they a treated as though they are not present at all in the area. After the area has been scored; the player who framed the area receives its flower token; which will give them extra points at game end.
In the course of the game; you may run out of plants; but these can be bought back from the game board with clouds. Clouds can also be used to buy another turn and to appoint a new joker animal. This animal then counts as all animals and makes it easier to put on. At the end of a player's turn; a domino is drawn and it is the next player's turn.
Once all players have run out of dominoes; the game ends with a final scoring.
