About the game
Once a year, the Flower Fairies gather for the Grand Fairy Perfume Contest, where only the most enchanting scent will win the title of Legendary Scentweaver. In Fairy Perfume, 2–4 players shake fragrance stones from their bottles, balancing risk and reward. Store your stones to earn point and upgrade your abilities. Fairy Perfume plays in about 30 minutes, is easy to learn, and offers a magical blend of push-your-luck strategy, and whimsical charm. Come enjoy the annual festival with us! On your turn in Fairy Perfume, you may perform two actions: - Buy a Gem: Add a colorful gem to your board, each with its own magical effect. - Bottle Gems: Place all gems from your board into your bottle. - Shake the Bottle: Risk and reward! Draw fragrance stone between your minimum and maximum limit. Go over, and you’ll earn annoying black coals instead. - Discard a Gem: Remove one gem (even a coal) from your board. - Activate Abilities or Goals: Spend Fairy Points to unlock upgrades or score conditions for the end of the game. Fragrance stone sparkle with different powers: yellow earns coins, green gives Fairy Points, red burdens neighbors with coal, white grants 2 Fairy Points, blue gives 3 coins, and purple is worth 6 points at the end. The game ends once all purple fragrance stones are gone. Players then count points from goals, fragrance stones, abilities, and subtract for any black coals. With double-sided player boards, unique powers, and a variety of goals, no two contests are ever the same!
