Trellis is that 20‑minute game that makes you feel like a real gardener, minus the dirt. Instead of seeds you have flower meeples in different colors and a stack of hexagon tiles that depict tangled vines. Each player starts with 15 flowers and the goal is to place all of them on the board before the others. The turn is simple: pick a hex from your hand, drop it on the table and watch the magic happen. When the tile lands, same‑color connections activate and flowers bloom automatically, both yours and others’, if the rule allows. After that you claim an unclaimed vine on the tile you just placed and, if you’re lucky, you might earn bonus flowers for helping opponents bloom. If there are no unclaimed vines on your tile, you can place a flower anywhere free on the board. The strategy lies in deciding when to play tiles that generate flowers for you and when to let the opponent grow, to gain those extra bonuses. The game blends pattern‑building and tile‑placement on a hex grid that gives it a nice visual flair. It’s perfect for fans of abstract strategy who want something quick and with a nature vibe. Components are simple: 120 hex tiles, 60 flowers of each color and a tile deck. The learning curve is shallow, but depth comes from when to help or block. If you enjoy games like Patchwork or Azul, Trellis will win you over in a few minutes. Good luck, gardener!
