Flower Fairy is a board game released in 2014 for 1–3 players, 5–10 minutes per game, and ages 2 and up. It was designed by Christiane Hüpper and its main mechanics are Dice Rolling and Cooperative Game.
A cooperative stacking game to recognize and match colors. It’s springtime. The buds of the water lilies have already opened. Three big flowers are also growing up on the little island, but have not yet blossomed. Rosalina, in her little bed, is waking up. First she yawns, then stretches and sets off flittering from one water lily leaf to the next. As she arrives at the little island, she swings her magic wand ... and the three large flowers soon start to bloom. The goal is to build up the flowers before Rosalina reaches the flower island! On your turn you roll the die and take a piece of the same color. The first piece of a color goes on the same color flower field. The next pieces go on top of the previously placed pieces. The back of the board is a variant for older children. In this variant you don't have to recognize colors, but shapes.
Flower Fairy supports 1–3 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 Flower Fairy is 5–10 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 Flower Fairy for ages 2 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.
Flower Fairy has a complexity rating of 1.0 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.
