Players are suburbanite homeowners trying to grow attractive lawns in front of their houses, starting with basic grass cards and adding ornaments of various kinds. Players draw cards and either play or store them in a public 'shed' for later. One card may be held secretly in hand. Some cards are played offensively on other players to steal or destroy their items, or add negative scoring to their lawns. Players have the option to trade cards on their turn and score bonus points by finishing the game with specific configurations of grass cards.
