The basics
Together, rebuild each player's clover from the clues its author wrote. In silence, everyone writes on each leaf of their clover a single word linking the two words facing each other there, then removes their cards and adds a decoy; clover by clover, the others try to put them back while the author stays silent, with a second attempt if needed. When every clover is solved, compare the shared score with the scale in the rulebook.
The rules, step by step
Setup
1 clover board each, 4 keyword cards
- Each player takes a clover board and a dry-erase marker.
- Each player draws four keyword cards and places them on their clover; each card has a word on each of its sides.
How to play
1 word per leaf, 1 decoy card added, 2 attempts at most
- Everyone plays at the same time and in silence: on each of the four leaves of the clover, write a single word linking the two words facing each other there.
- Each player then removes their four cards, adds a decoy card, and shuffles them all together.
- Then, clover by clover, the other players try to put the right cards back the right way round. The clover's author stays silent.
- If not everything is right, the author removes the misplaced cards and the table gets a second attempt.
Scoring
Shared score, 1st attempt scores more
- The score is shared by the whole table.
- A clover fully rebuilt on the first attempt scores more than one solved on the second attempt.
End of the game
Every clover solved, Rulebook scale
- The game ends when every clover has been solved. Compare the total with the scale in the rulebook.

Frequently asked questions
Can the clover's author help?
No. While the table is searching, they say nothing and do not react.
