Overview
Create a lush garden of beautiful blooms in order to attract helpful pollinators to their favorite flowers in this abstract tile laying game. Plant Flowers - Place a garden card next to at least one pollinator token Attract Pollinators - Form a line with a garden card in another player's color, draw a pollinator token and place it next to the newly created line! Pollinate Flowers - When a pollinator token is encircled by flowers, it's attracted to that player's garden! Add up the values on flower cards that match the pollinator. Become the Best Garden - When any type of scoring token runs out, all pollinator tokens have been placed, or all players have run out of garden cards, the game ends and it's time to score. —description from publisher
