GAME mechanics

  • Collecting Sets - In Flourish, players work to build the most beautiful garden by collecting sets of cards representing different types of flowers, shrubs and structures. The cards are played in series, and the ability to collect strategic sets is key to maximizing the score. Each set has its own requirements and scoring bonuses, encouraging careful planning and observation of opportunities during the game.
  • Cooperative - Flourish offers a gaming experience where participants can work together in a cooperative environment. While each player still competes to create the highest scoring garden, there is a layer of cooperation where strategies and tips can be shared to optimize the collective game. It's a balance between achieving personal victory and ensuring that everyone is engaged in the progress of the game, fostering a sense of community and collaboration.
