How to use it

1. Set up the board and have each player choose a wooden marker to represent their journey up the mountain.
2. Draw cards to move along the path, encountering various "ailments" like bee stings or sore muscles.
3. Use the "Plant Cards" in your hand to match the correct herbal remedy to the ailment encountered.
4. Help other players by sharing your cards, as the goal is for everyone to return to Grandma’s house before nightfall.
5. Discuss the real-world uses of the plants shown on the cards to reinforce the educational aspect.
