Vegetable Garden battle game

All right gardeners, time to flex your green fingers and see if you can be the first to find the four moles lurking in your opponents vegetable patch!

Use the letters and numbers on the side of the patch to tell your opponent which plant you'd like them to pull up... if you find a mole, you get another turn - but if you find a carrot it's the other players turn to guess.

You can also use this to play a Veg patch memory game. Each player places the moles and carrots wherever they want in their patch, and then boxes are swapped. Taking in turns each player pulls a piece from the patch. If it's a mole they remove it from the veg patch and try again. If it's carrot, they replant it in the same place... so it's important to memorise the pieces you have already chosen!

The first one to find the other's carrots wins... but watch out for the moles!
