Floriado (2003)

About this game

40 cards of flowers (5 colors, 1-8 flowers on each card) are placed in a 5x8 grid. Both players collect flower cards with their pawn by moving across the grid following two rules: 1) pawns may never move backwards, but may turn 90 degrees before movement; 2) each collected card has to show fewer flowers than the last collected card of that color. Scoring rewards big collections of one color. Online Play http://www.onlinebrettspiele.de/ (AI)

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 1.7/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
