Game Overview and Objective

This is a card drafting game. Each round, players are dealt a hand of 7 cards. They will choose one card simultaneously and then play that card onto their player board, their temporary storage area, or place in their trash to permanently discard it. They will then pass the remaining cards to their left or right (alternating per round) and repeat until all cards have been chosen.

The objective of the game is to have the most Flower Points (FP) after 3 rounds.

Board Overview and Card Types

Each player board can hold 8 vases (6 along the bottom and 2 on the hanging shelves) and 3 hanging baskets (1 on each side of the hanging shelves). The storage area below the board can hold a maximum of 4 cards at a time. The trash area to the right of the board stores any cards trashed during/at the end of the 3rd round. At the end of the game, unused cards from storage and the player board are moved to the trash area.

Cards:

• Vase Cards - Vase cards are played on available spaces on the player board. Each vase card can hold one flower card. The flower card placed in a vase must exactly match the depicted image on the vase (color and number of blooms). Note, vases showing white flowers may be hold any color flower. Vase cards are worth FP equal to the number of petals at the base of the card.
• Flower Cards - Flower cards are placed in vases by tucking them behind a Vase card (showing the flowers) ONLY if this Flower card meets the FULL requirements of the Vase AND the Vase is empty.
• Salary Cards - Salary cards are money. They are automatically added to your register after card selection is confirmed. Money is used to purchase hanging baskets or to redraw the last card drafted in a round.
• Hanging Basket Cards - Hanging basket cards are purchased with money and placed in 1 of 3 spots for hanging baskets on the player board. Previously placed cards can be replaced with a new card if desired; the original card is placed in the trash when replaced. Hanging Basket cards are worth the FP shown on them.
• Order Cards - Order cards can be used to sell flowers and/or the vase for money. To play an order card, choose the flower(s) to be sold. Players earn $3/4/5 for 1/2/3 flowers sold, and/or earn $2 for each vase sold. Sold cards can come from the window or storage area.

Round Structure

The game comprises three rounds. At the start of each round, each player is dealt 7 cards.

During each round, players will:

1. Draft a card from their hand (if there is only 1 card left to draft, players may choose to spend $2 to draw a new card)
2. Choose to play, store, or trash the card (the gain money card is played automatically)
3. Play a card from their storage (optional)
4. Pass the cards to the next player (each round, the cards are passed in the opposite direction of the previous round)
5. Repeat these steps until all cards have been drafted for the round.

Game End

After the end of the 3rd round, the game ends. All unused cards in the player's board and storage areas are moved to the player's trash.

Tally your score:

1. Score 1 FP for each petal at the bottom of a full vase.
2. Score 2/3/4 FP based on what is showing on each Hanging Basket cards
3. Score 1 FP for every $5 in the register.
4. Score 5 FP if the shop is completely filled (8 filled vases and 3 Hanging Baskets).
5. Subtract 1 FP for every 2 cards in the trash area.
