Push Up Poppies

The unpredictable world of Push Up Poppies offers rewards and inflicts pain. Plantation owners in Afghanistan have devilish tricks and creative tools to grow and harvest their poppies.

In this card game, each player has their own poppy plantation and their goal is to harvest the most poppies by maximizing their plantation's productivity and stifling the opposition.

There are four types of card:

 The Field cards, which are the cards the players can harvest. Most of these are poppy cards, which have a value from 1 to 8.
 The Infrastructure cards, which permanently affect the player's plantation in various ways.
 The Action cards, which boost poppy production or sabotage the competition. These cards are discarded immediately after being played.
 The Wild cards, which behave differently depending on what the player chooses them to be.

Each player must have five cards in their hand at the start of their turn. During their turn, the player must draw one card from the common stack and then play one card, either by placing it in front of them in their plantation (Field or Infrastructure cards) or by resolving its action (Action cards). They can also simply discard a card. If they so choose, they can play a second one and if they do, they have to draw a second card from the stack afterwards.

As soon as a player has five Field cards in their plantation, they must harvest it. The harvest is worth the combined value of the poppy cards harvested. The first player reaching 69 points wins!

Note: One deck allows to play with up to six players, but one can combine several decks together to play with many more people.
