Before the first rumble
A few very reasonable questions.
What comes in the base game?
You receive 44 playing cards: 28 Gnomes and 16 Modifiers. The card deck box also contains two illustrated, double-sided folded guides: Standard Play and Custom Battles.
What do we do with all 44 cards?
For basic play, separate Gnomes from Modifiers. Shuffle the Gnomes, set four aside without looking, and deal 12 to each player. Shuffle the Modifiers and deal eight each. Keep all 20 of your own cards in hand, hidden from your opponent. You may look at your own cards.
How does a battle work?
Each player chooses one Gnome face down, then both reveal together. Each secretly chooses at most one Modifier or passes. Reveal the Modifiers together, follow their effects, and compare final battle power. The winner captures both Gnomes. A tie returns each Gnome to its owner; used Modifiers are discarded even on a tie.
How do we win the match?
End when a player can no longer field a Gnome. Add the original printed scores of your captured Gnomes. Negative numbers subtract points; used Modifiers add no capture points. The higher point total wins. The included guides explain tiebreakers and named special cards.
Which expansions should I choose?
Family adds 14 Gnomes and no Modifiers. Each Holiday or Thanksgiving pack adds seven Gnomes and seven Modifiers. Holiday A and B have different cards; together they contain all 28 holiday cards. The Thanksgiving pair works the same way. Every pack has a fixed list, so another copy of the same pack contains the same cards.
Can I put the whole collection into one deck?
A custom battle deck has at most 20 playing cards per player, including Modifiers. Both players agree on equal Gnome counts and equal Modifier counts, then choose from their collections. Owning more cards gives you more choices, while the deck limit stays the same. If you mix different card backs, use matching opaque sleeves so the backs do not identify cards before play.
Do I lose my cards if I lose a match?
Normally, captured Gnomes score points for that match and all cards return to their owners afterward. Optional card prizes apply only when both players agree before the match. The Custom Battles guide explains those options.
How will my order arrive?
The base game comes in its card deck box. Each expansion comes in its own foil pack with an illustrated folded guide. The Complete Garden selection includes six separately packaged products. The Game Crafter prints to order. You review shipping charges, taxes, and the production estimate before paying.
Who can help with an order?
