About the game

What is 13 Leaves?

Enjoy the foliage, discover all the colors and shapes that nature can offer, and create a beautiful and satisfying grading sequence! In 13 Leaves, players can play one or more cards of the same value that align with the sequence on the table. The cards must be of a value equal to or lower than the lowest card in the sequence, or of a value equal to or higher than the highest card in the sequence. The game consists of several rounds. Each round is divided into turns that proceed clockwise. On their turn, the active player, if they can and if they want, plays one or more cards of the same value from their hand. Multiple cards of the same value are stacked on top of each other to show how many cards of that value are present on the table. Cards of different values are placed in numerical order forming a sequence on the table. The first player to play all the cards in their hand wins. At the end of the rules, you'll find the expert variant, which consists of playing multiple games in a row with a scoring at the end of each game. —description from the publisher
