'Every spring, it's time for the magical tree to be reborn. As one of the tree's spirit guardians, you are trying to grow the tree based on your preferences, but you aren't the only sylvan spirit out there and everyone seeks to promote their own charming fruit. Will you be clever enough to place all your items before your competitors do? Enter this magical place and return the tree to the splendor it deserves. Each turn in L'Arbre, a player either draws cards from the deck or places their tiles on the tree by playing cards from their hand. Each tile represents a tree element (branches, leaves, buds or fruits) with distinct rules for placement. The first player to have exhaust their tiles wins.
