Winter Lollapalooza

I've tried trees and stables for the festive cookies but my results cannot keep up with reducing the tiles for gear coins, candy apples and punch.

My main goal now is enough gear coins to get the permanent Korean fir trees and Cardinal nests along with the upgrades if possible.

The game boards using Candy Apples give 2 gear coins per board while the boards using Punch give 5 gear coins. My priority for reducing the timers will be:

1. Gear coins
2. Punch
3. Candy apple

I didn't have enough festive cookies to do all the timer tiles this morning so they are all at different stages. I have now replaced stables and put out trees and used Turbo Mulch to try to get in another harvest before bedtime.

I think the prices for the event shop items are too expensive given how limited we are in playing the board game, as well as the low drop rate.

 

I got a BB tree from one of the piccolos, so it was all worth it in the end

 

where does the cardinal +1 go? I earned 2 with the orange punch puzzle games but my stalls are still the same and I can't find the +1 buff any where.
