Stem & Branch is a strategy card game for families inspired by the animals and elements of the 60-year Eastern zodiac calendar. Players compete or cooperate to rebuild the calendar from beginning to end with the help of their spirit animals. By utilizing the elements and supporting the animals, players gain years throughout the game. The player with the most years at the end wins.

Game Summary

The Stem and Branch cycle is represented in the 60-card deck, with each card symbolizing a year guided by a Spirit Animal and one of the Five Elements. As an Immortal, your sacred task is to nurture the Tree of Time by summoning and ascending the Spirit Animals from the Stream of Time and recording their progress in the Scroll of Time.

The cost to summon a Spirit Animal depends on its rank and Element Type, paid by expending matching Animals and Elements you control. Once summoned, Animals
already on the board can share their Element Type, making it easier to summon and
ascend more Animals.

In cooperative play, you work together to help all the Spirit Animals complete their journeys before the Stream of Time runs out. In competitive play, you compete for control of the Animals and Elements to devote the most years to the Tree of Time.
The game ends when the Stream of Time runs out. You then add the years you gained,

and the one who has the most years will be the winner.
