Alas, no, the card actually affects the set-up prior to play – thus, the 0 on top – with each player receiving 18 cards, then choosing nine of those cards to serve as his starting hand, after which players draft power cards in the usual manner. At least I think that's what it says. Paddling might be in there somewhere and I'm just overlooking it.

Leelawadee is another example of this type of design, with van Moorsel planning to bring the game to the German crowdfunding site Spieleschmiede in April or May 2013. As is sometimes the case, the components for this Cwali release are handmade and more charming than they have any right to be. As for the game, here's a description of how to play:
Quote:
In Leelawadee, butterflies search for delicious flowers, flowers that you as the gardener will provide. Five colors of flowers are available, with the quantity of each color ranging from six to ten, making a total of forty flowers. At the start of the game, these flowers are randomly drawn and place in five groups of eight.
The game lasts five rounds, and in each round players take turns removing flowers from the supply and planting them in their garden. These flowers attract butterflies, and having butterflies in your garden brings you points at the end of each round; butterflies score one point at the end of round one, two points in round two, etc., with the butterflies that attract in the current round earning you twice as many points. Leelawadee includes ten butterflies, five matching the colors of the flowers and five two-color combinations. All butterflies prefer fresh flowers, so creating a flower patch equal in size to an opponent's garden is enough to lure the butterfly from that other garden to yours. Who will be the best gardener?
