Description

Herbarium is a board game designed for you to become a herbarium designer and create the most beautiful bottles! A herbarium is an ornamental item made by stuffing dried flowers in small bottles and soaked in special oils.

In this game, you'll combine 8-color flower chips to create a role and compete for a highest score. The purchasing phase and the fair phase will be repeated, and the first player to win two gold medals in the Fair Phase will win.

The bottle contains up to three materials, and the combination of the three colors can be used in various roles. In addition, let's aim for a high score by making good use of the "trendy color" of the season and "push color" that only the judges know.

If you only care about your work, other players will have an advantage, so purchase while looking at the situation of the players around you.

『Herbarium』はハーバリウムデザイナーとなって、誰よりも美しい作品を作ることを目的とした、思考と視覚で楽しむボードゲームです。ハーバリウムとはドライフラワーなどを小瓶に詰め、専用のオイルに漬けた観賞用のアイテムです。
このゲームでは8色の花のチップを組み合わせて役を作り、より高得点を競います。
仕入れフェイズと品評会フェイズを繰り返し進行していき、品評会フェイズで最初に金賞を2回受賞したプレイヤーの勝利となります。

瓶には最大3つの素材が入り、その3つの色の組み合わせによって様々な役が成立します。
また、そのシーズンの「流行色」や審査員しか知らない「推し色」などを上手に利用して高得点を狙いましょう。
自分の作品ばかり気にしていると、他のプレイヤーが有利になってしまうので周りのプレイヤーの状況をうかがいながら仕入れましょう。

最初に金賞を2回受賞したプレイヤーの勝利となります。
