About the game
What you do in a play session
Get your gardening gloves ready because Flower Fields is here to brighten up your table! In this competitive tile-placement game, you take on the role of an ambitious gardener striving to create the most stunning garden in the neighborhood. The game unfolds over three seasons, each presenting a unique challenge of planning and patience. On your turn, you have three main options: pick new flower tiles from the field, collect bees for your reserve, or place those bees in your garden to give them a special boost.
The key lies in smart resource management and strategic placement. When picking flowers, you typically take the next available tile in the circle, but if you have extra bees, you can 'kip' a tile you don't want to grab the one you actually need. But watch out: tiles must be connected to form flowerbeds! Your goal is to create large areas of specific colors (red, yellow, or blue) and use your bees to pollinate them, multiplying your score. The more bees in a flowerbed, the higher the bonus.
You also need to keep an eye on hives to gather more bees and clear out spider webs to stay productive by the season's end. Once the third season concludes, points are tallied based on your most valuable colored areas and bonuses for completing full rows or columns on your board. It's a visually relaxing experience that demands sharp tactical thinking to ensure your garden outshines the competition!
