The basics
Collect vegetables and the point cards that reward them, to put together the most profitable salad. On your turn, take either one point card from the top of a pile or two vegetables from the market, then you may flip one of your point cards to its vegetable side. When all the cards have been taken, each point card scores with all of its owner's vegetables, and the highest total wins.
