Description
The warm embrace of spring brings the butterflies out to flutter along the paths. Lay out tiles with winding paths in order to entice the butterflies to flutter to you. If youre clever, you can even use the tiles placed by other players to your advantage. Gather the most and loveliest butterflies to win! Each turn, place a Path Tile on the game board. Butterflies then move along the newly connected path. If a Butterfly arrives at a Flowerbed, the owners of the Flowerbed receive points. The players with the most points at the end of the game wins.
FEATURES
- BUTTERFLY GARDEN: From acclaimed designer Reiner Knizia, beautifully crafted with 3D acrylic Butterfly pieces. 2-4 players strategically lay tiles to guide butterflies along flowery paths toward their flowerbeds. The game combines tile-laying mechanics with strategic planning, similar to Metro and Tsuro, but with a unique focus on moving butterflies to specific destinations.
- COMPETITIVE AND COOPERATIVE: Players can collaborate when sharing paths, but competition heats up as they try to steal butterflies for their own gardens. Balancing cooperation and rivalry is key to maximizing points and outsmarting your opponents.
- DISCOVER UNIQUE BUTTERFLIES: The rarer the butterflies guided to your garden, the higher the points. This scoring system rewards strategic path-building and clever gameplay, making every move count.
- FAMILY FRIENDLY: Designed for ages 8+, the game features simple rules and plays in about 30 minutes, making it perfect for family game nights. Its simple yet engaging mechanics appeal to both casual and experienced players.
- A FUN TWIST ON PATH-BUILDING GAMES: Unlike traditional tile-laying games, Butterfly Garden focuses on guiding butterflies to flowerbeds rather than just building paths. With no player owning individual paths, the shared board state creates a dynamic and ever-changing gameplay experience.
