Read the full game description

In this yard-building card game, you race to prove to your neighbors that your lawn is the best on the block – or destroy your rival in the process. Every game starts with a different, randomized group of Neighbors, each with their own set of criteria. At the start of your turn, you must choose to be Home or Away, giving you access to a different set of actions that you can perform. While Home, you can gain points and abilities by playing cards onto your yard and swaying Neighbors to your side. While Away, you can earn money and get new cards from a shared store, but you leave your yard vulnerable to your rival's mischief. When the last Neighbor has been swayed, the game ends, and whoever has the most points wins. —description from publisher
