About the game
If you enjoy fast-paced, colorful card games that challenge your brain without losing the fun, Gift of Tulips is your next obsession! Imagine you're in the heart of a tulip festival in Amsterdam, and your goal is to leave with the most stunning bouquet (and the highest score) possible. This game is a delightful blend of light strategy and market manipulation.

The gameplay is very snappy: on each turn, you draw cards and decide your move: keep them for yourself, give them to a friend (yes, being generous can earn you points!), or add them to the festival to shift the color rankings. It's a game of constant adjustment. Do you want to hold the majority of a specific color to secure end-game bonuses? Or would you rather focus on giving tulips away to accumulate generosity points? The market is volatile, and the color ranking can shift at any moment as cards are added to the festival.

There's also a layer of mystery with the 'ecret festival' pile, which can change the final landscape of the match. It's a perfect game for those who love quick card games (around 20 minutes) that still offer an interesting layer of decision-making. It's ideal for family game night or with a group of friends looking for something dynamic between bigger sessions. Pick your favorite colors and good luck at the festival!
