About the game
Flowers are power in the freshly-picked dice game Bloom! Roll the dice, choose a color, then circle the number of matching flowers. Each roll offers a bouquet of possibilities: Should you try to snag all of a certain color, or attempt to fill a "mixed dozen" instead? Choose wisely — the dice you pass might score for your opponents! With a little luck and a lot of pluck, you'll be the blooming best! —description from the publisher

Questions and answers
Bloom supports 1–5 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Bloom is 20 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Bloom for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Bloom has a complexity rating of 1.3 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
