Buds and Blooms

Rival gardeners compete to grow the tallest, most attractive flowers for the annual flower show.
Will your sunflowers be spectacular or simply second-rate?
Will your marigolds be magnificent or merely mediocre? 

Players play cards to their 3 flower beds to increase the height of their flowers and attract bees and butterflies. Each flower bed has specific rules as to how cards can be played to it.

Tool cards give special actions and players can grow their flowers further with favourable weather conditions (by discarding the right card at the right time).

The taller the flower, and the more attractive it is to insects, the more points it will be awarded. The gardener whose flowers score the highest at the end of the game wins. 

Buds and Blooms was an entry in the 2021 54-Card Game Design Contest.
