Flourish is an exciting card-drafting board game that requires players to construct a glorious garden with flowers and statues, while accumulating the most points. This is an excellent point salad game with unique mechanics and components. Players can get points by making the best matches using the point-scoring of each card; some even permit you to score points in your opponents’ gardens. This gives the game an extra level of strategy, especially as you pass cards to your neighbor each turn.
This set comes with two expansions that make the game even more interesting and strategic. We particularly liked the Follies expansion, as it features cool cardboard follies, although it does take some time to construct them for the first playthrough. The Friends Expansion provides an opportunity for people to gain extra points when they complete goals set on their friends’ scorecards.
We found the gameplay experience very enjoyable, with a great mix of strategy and luck. If you are in search of an engaging tabletop game, I would strongly suggest this one. This is great game for your next family game night and the rules are very easy to understand for a new player. If you enjoy card drafting, point salad games you will truly enjoy the Flourish card game.
