Are you ready to join the Meadow Gnomes in celebrating their Hollow harvest?
The game Gnome Hollow is a tile laying, set collection game where you will be trading in mushrooms for treasure (points). In the game you will take on the role of a pair of gnomes who are working together to create magical mushroom circles so they can gather wild flowers and maintain the enchantment that conceals their home. The game is played over a series of rounds with players performing the following three phases on their turn, Place Tiles, Resolve and Move a Gnome. When you Place Tiles you will choose 2 of the 8 tiles in the central display to add to the garden in front of you with at least one side of the tile connecting to a tile already in the garden. During the Resolve Phase you will check to see if a mushroom ring is completed allowing you to collect the mushrooms in a ring or score your mushroom ring marker bonuses. Lastly you have the Move a Gnome Phase which allows you to do one of four actions, reserve a mushroom ring to score later on, collect a flower from the central board, gain the benefits of a sign post bonus token or sell two types of mushroom at the market to receive treasure tokens. The game ends once a player meets one of three end game conditions, a player has 8 flower tokens, a player has 8 mushroom ring markers out on their player board or the bag runs out of tiles. You then complete the current round and then each player receives one final Move a Gnome phase before calculating your score from your treasures, flower collection and the mushroom rings you have completed.
Will you be the gnome that keeps the village concealed?
