Blooming Gardens (2002)

About this game

In this game we have combined stunning images from the Royal Horticultural Society with a card playing system that allows players to experience the delights of flower cultivation alongside the joy of outsmarting your fellow 'gardeners'. The game encourages strategic play but is also suitable for play with younger gamers who simply like unleashing 'pests' onto your carefully nurtured Roses!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.2/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 7 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
