About the game
Plant flowers petal by petal in this fun, family strategy game. Grow your flowers while completing secret garden cards, but bee cautious! Once a player claims a flower with their bumblebee, no one else can score it! So plant wisely, bloom quickly, and grow your perfect garden! Overview: In Wild Flowers, you’ll play Petal Tiles to create flowers and score points. Place your Bumblebee markers on flowers to claim them as yours. Score points if your flowers match the secret garden plans shown on your Garden Cards. When a player has five Bumblebees on completed flowers, the game ends. The player with the most points from completed flowers and completed Garden Cards wins! Game Play: On your turn you’ll play 1, 2, or 3 Petal tiles from your hand of five tiles onto the unique molded Garden Game Board grid. The petal colors on your tile MUST match the colors of the flowers they connect to. At any time on your turn, you may place a Bumblebee marker on ANY flower to claim it as your own. Completed flowers (six matching petals) with your Bumblebees on them are worth one point at the end of the game. Your Petal tile rack also holds three Garden Cards with secret objectives worth 1 to 5 points. Score the objectives on your cards by cleverly completing flowers in the patterns shown. Scored cards are revealed and placed on the table. At the end of your turn, draw back up to five Petal Tiles and three Garden Cards. When a player has five completed flowers with Bumblebees on them, the game will end. Each player gets one more turn to complete their flowers. Players add up points for completed flowers and Garden Cards. The player with the most points wins! -description from publisher
