Your goal

Earn the highest shared score you can by reconstructing every player’s original clover.

The flow of play

  1. Arrange four keyword cards and write one clue connecting each pair along the clover’s edges

  2. Remove the cards, add one random decoy and shuffle all five

  3. Teammates rebuild the clover with at most two attempts, earning a bonus for a completely correct first attempt
