Set-Up
Little Flower Shop

1. Each player takes a Shop Window (player board,) 1 Register card, and 3 starting Vases in their color (place at the bottom
of your Shop Window.) Lay out the money cards to form a “bank.”
2. Shuffle the 96 Shop cards to create a face-down deck. Deal each player 7 cards from this deck to form an opening hand.
Game Flow
:
o (For those of you that have played 7 Wonders, this should sound familiar…) Little Flower Shop is played over 3 rounds
and after those 3 rounds, the end-game Flower Points (FP) are calculated. Most Flower Points (FP) is the winner!
o Unlike most games, players don’t take turns in any kind of order. Instead, turns occur simultaneously.
o During a round, players will “draft” (pick) 1 card from their hand, place it face-down in front of themselves, and pass
their hand of cards to the next player right/left (depends on the round which way, see Window Board below.)
o Once everyone has picked 1 card, all players reveal the 1 card they picked and “do” what that card does (see below.)
o Repeat this process until everyone plays their 7th card for the round. Since the last card picked each round is the “left
over crappy card,” sometimes you don’t want it. If you wish, you can pay $2 from your register (1x only) to NOT play the
last card given to you, and instead you MUST take the top card of the deck and play that one instead.
o At the beginning of each round, all players gets a new hand of 7 cards from the deck, and after 3 rounds, the game ends.
o ANYTIME during the game, you are allowed to reorganize cards in “Storage” and cards in your “Window,” but once a
card goes in the Trash, it remains in the Trash. (see below)
Window Board Details
:
o Holds max 8 Vase card (6 along the bottom, and 2 on the shelves.)
o Next to the shelves, you can place a Hanging Basket (3 max.)
o The 2 icons at the top show you which way to pass your hand of cards based on the current round you are in.
o At the bottom is where you place the card you just selected and are about to flip over to play.
o STORAGE– To the left of the Window is your “Storage Area” (max 4 cards) where you can put cards you selected but
aren’t ready to use just yet. Remember, you can reorganize Storage/Window cards freely (Hanging Baskets have a cost
however.) Cards in your storage area at the end of the game are moved to your Trash Area (see below.)
o Trash– To the right is your “Trash Area.” This is where cards go when you have no place for them in your window and
your storage area is full (4 cards.) At the end of the game, every 2 cards in your trash is -1 FP.
Cards
:
o Vase Cards
 When you play this card, you can place it in an available space in your Window, or in Storage (max 4). If you
have no room for the Vase, it must go in the Trash area.
 Vase cards are free to play, and will score you FP equal to the number of petals around the bottom, but only if
you put the correct flowers in the Vase as shown by the picture on the Vase.
 Vases can only ever have 1 card tucked behind it at a time
Vase cards in order to earn points.
 The black/white flower means “any kind.”
o Flower Cards
so you need to look for specific cards to tuck behind
 When you play this card, tuck it behind a Vase card (showing the flowers) ONLY if this Flower card meets the
FULL need of the Vase AND the Vase is empty. Otherwise, put this card in Storage (or the Trash if Storage is full.)
 The black/white flower means “any kind.”
 Filler (Optional Rule)– (Skip for 1-2 games) Each Flower card has 1 of 3 fillers, Baby’s Breath, Hypericum or Fern.
With this rule, at the end of the game, each player picks 1 type and scores 1 FP for each of that type they have!
o Salary Cards
 This is simply money. Put it in your Register. You can spend it to buy Hanging Baskets or replace your last card.
o Hanging Basket Cards
 When you play this card, put it in 1 of the 3 spots for Hanging Baskets in your Window (or just put it in Storage.)
If there is no room in your Window, and you really want the card, you can move 1 basket already in your
Window to the Trash area.
 Pay the $ cost shown, but only when you place the basket in your Window, not when you put it in Storage.
 At the end of the game, Hanging Basket cards are worth the FP shown on them.
o Order Cards
 When you take this card, put it in your Storage and at anytime, you can utilize this card to earn money.
 Fulfilling an Order
 These cards represent a customer coming into your shop and buying something for money!
 Cards sold can come from your Window OR
your Storage area.
 Discard the Order card along with 1 Flower card
to earn money. 1/2/3 flowers on the card earns $3/4/5.
 You can sell a single empty Vase card by itself instead for $2
 You CAN sell a Flower card AND a Vase card under the same Order card as long as the Flower card and
Vase card belong together. (Add the $$ together for profit.)
 Place all money earned in your Register.
End Game
:
o After 3 rounds, the game is over. Move all empty Vases in your Window and all cards in Storage to the Trash now.
o Calculate FP the following ways…
 Each petal at the bottom of a full Vase is worth 1 FP.
 Score 2/3/4 FP based on what is showing on your Hanging Baskets.
 Score 1 FP for every $5 in your Register. Spend this money to the bank.
 Subtract 1 FP for every 2 cards in your Trash area.
 Filler Scoring (if using) – Score 1 FP per card that contains 1 of the 3 Fillers based on which Filler you choose.
o Most Points is the winner! Ties broken by the player with the most Vases in their Window, then by most left over $$.
