About the game

What you do in a play session

Fluttering Souls is a two-player card game, with a touch of elegance and inspiration from the Japanese legend of The White Butterfly. The premise is simple yet engaging: collect the most butterflies to attract the attention of the mysterious White Butterfly, symbolizing the visit of a departed loved one. The game unfolds over a few rounds (3 to 5), where each player, on their turn, selects available butterflies for their collection. Hand management is crucial, as you need to decide which cards to play and when to maximize your points. Collecting sets of butterflies earns points, and whoever accumulates the most points at the end of each round wins a White Butterfly Token. The first to gather three of these sacred tokens achieves victory! With quick games lasting 10 to 20 minutes and light complexity (weight 1.23), it's perfect for those seeking a charming and strategic experience without complication. The illustrations are a standout feature, making each game a visual delight. It's an ideal game for couples or friends who enjoy abstract games with a touching theme and accessible mechanics.
