About the game

What you do in a play session

Floriferous invites you to spend a relaxed afternoon in your own garden, gathering flowers and pairing them with abundance, desire, and mastery cards. The game unfolds over three days, each divided into five turns. On each turn you move one step through the garden and, upon arriving, pick a face‑up card – either a flower or a desire. Selections are made via open drafting, so everyone sees the pool and each pick reshapes the options for the others. The final goal is to assemble the best flower sets, satisfying the requirements of desire and mastery cards to earn the most points. Turn order is stat‑based, meaning the player with the most flowers or desire cards goes first, sparking a subtle race for resources. Designed for 1‑4 players, it also includes a solo mode for a quick solo challenge. With simple components – beautifully illustrated cards and a tiny turn marker – a game lasts 20‑30 minutes, ideal for a break or a light evening. The set‑collection mechanic keeps play flowing, while the flower, bee, and butterfly theme adds visual charm that appeals to nature lovers and fans of light card games alike. Though easy to learn, balancing abundance, desire, and mastery adds a strategic layer that rewards smart drafting decisions.
