## Description
In Bouquet Parlay, you’re a strategic florist crafting the most valuable arrangements while sabotaging rivals’ gardens. Each flower card has specific pairings—the challenge is collecting perfect combos and timing your harvest (or letting your bouquet grow to block others’ flowers). On your turn, choose to: draw a card and add one to your bouquet (as a face-up flower or face-down compost) or harvest a completed bouquet to score. Face-up flowers block that variety for everyone until harvested! Watch out for special cards that shake things up. When the season ends, score points from harvested bouquets, unharvested flowers (worth less), and secret bonuses. But beware: unused flowers in your hand wilt and deduct points! The most valuable garden wins.

## FAQ
### Best player count?
3-5 keeps blocking and interaction balanced. With 2, it’s a more calculated duel.

### Hard to learn?
Nope! Rules take 5 minutes, but strategies (when to block/harvest) deepen over time.

### Wingspan fans would enjoy this?
If they like card combos and interaction, yes! But here, sabotage is more direct and pacing faster.

### Luck or strategy?
70% strategy (hand management, timing) and 30% luck in card draws. Special cards balance things.

### How long does it take?
Box says 15-30min, but with 4 experienced players, expect 45min of floral tension!
