Description
Hi, landscaper! There is a peaceful flower bed filled with elegant roses and lively trumpet creepers, eagerly awaiting you to make it blossom in full bloom. Together, players embark on a collaborative journey to build a stunning floral pergola.
In this game, you aim to complete as many full flowers as possible by connecting vines to vines and flowers with flowers of the same color. It takes strategy and a touch of luck. Special insects will have bonus effects! This brings thrilling moments to the gameplay. Each turn, players perform the following phases:
Action Phase
Fulfillment Phase
Hummingbird Phase
Replenish Phase
The game ends when the cloth bag tiles run out or the fourth Hummingbird tile appeares on the market. The player with the highest score wins.

- Place tile on pagola — Take a tile from your hand and place it into a valid notch that matches the slot's requirements; you must be able to place without disturbing existing tiles.
