About the game
What you do in a play session
Ever played a quick card game that looks simple but makes your brain sweat trying to get the math right? Flowers is exactly that! Your goal is to create stunning flower fields using a 108-card deck, divided into four colors and values from 1 to 4. The gameplay is straightforward: draw a card from one of the stacks (which can be face-up or face-down) and decide its fate: either place it adjacent to a card already in your play area, or stack it on top of an existing card. But hold on, it's not just about playing cards! The real secret to success here is mathematical precision. When the last card is placed and the game ends, it's time for the reckoning. You must ensure your card groups follow strict rules: every '4' must belong to a group of exactly four 4s; every '3' in a group of three, and so on. The '1' is the real troublemaker: it cannot be adjacent to any other '1', or you'll lose points! If you violate these grouping rules, any cards that break the rules (including those covered by them) are removed, and you lose 1 point for each card lost. If you manage to keep everything in order, the reward is sweet: score points for color groups with at least five adjacent cards, and don't forget the butterflies! If a butterfly card is adjacent to a card of the same color, you snag an extra point. It's a game of patience, spatial awareness, and above all, intense focus to ensure your garden doesn't turn into a chaotic mess of negative points!
