About the game
What you do in a play session
In The Little Flower Shop, you step into the shoes of a talented florist, diligently working to create the most beautiful flower display in the village's small flower shop. The goal is to attract customers and, of course, score plenty of points with your floral creations. This is a light yet strategically engaging set collection game, and the visuals are a spectacle in themselves, featuring stunning botanical artwork by artist Sarah Wry.
The core mechanic is the well-known card draft: you pick one card from your hand and pass the rest to the next player, repeating until all cards are distributed. The cards you collect have various functions. Vase cards form the foundation of your shop window display. Flower cards are tucked into the vases, but pay attention to each vase's requirements to ensure your flowers match perfectly. Basket cards can be hung at the top of your display, but you'll need to purchase them first. To keep the cash flowing, Salary cards provide a steady income, while Sale cards allow you to turn your flowers into extra money. At the end of the game, whoever has the most dazzling and well-arranged display wins, scoring points for the beauty and harmony of their arrangements.
