About the game
In addition to its movement capabilities, a ROVE unit’s Multiversatool turns it into a rolling laboratory that’s perfect for studying xenobotany. Learn more about the fascinating flora you encounter and use that information to make the most of your modules. Just keep one sensor active at all times: you never know when an alien creature might stop by for a quick and crunchy snack! Fascinating Flora is an add-in expansion that expands the core ROVE gameplay with an additional 6 cards. These include new Mission patterns as well as a new way to use Movement cards. Where previously the player could optionally complete a pattern on a Movement card to gain additional Movement Points, the Fascinating Flora cards offer a set amount of Points but allow the player to refresh the single-use ability of a specific module as a reward for completing the pattern. The expansion also introduces a new Challenge Mode where players push to complete as many Mission cards as possible. Complete 12 Missions to earn the top title of ROVE Machine!

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists ROVE: Fascinating Flora 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.
ROVE: Fascinating Flora has a complexity rating of 1.5 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game.
