About the game
Plants 8 new Flora cards – two for each habitat – that are shuffled into the Animal cards and add new and interesting decisions to the gameplay. Plants are guaranteed to photograph successfully but are not worth prestige at the end - you could use them to complete a Photography Award or even trigger the end of the game... but is it worth missing out on the prestige? You can use these cards at any player count to add tactical depth. Solo Mode You can now play the game solo using the "SnapBot" that uses a deck of cards to simulate another player to compete against for solo players. SnapBot has a range of difficulty settings and recreates different player-interactions for an exciting and variable 1-player experience. 5th Player By adding in the 8 plants, there are enough cards in the Animal card deck to sustain a 5-player game. The game plays much the same as the 2-4 player version so there are no new rules to learn.

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 Snapshot: Flora Expansion is 15–45 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 Snapshot: Flora Expansion for ages 7 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.
Snapshot: Flora Expansion has a complexity rating of 2.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-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.
