Summary: “A dice-based take on The Little Flower Shop, is played over six days (rounds). In each round, players simultaneously roll five dice — 3 flower dice, 1 vase die, and 1 initiative die — then take turns based on the initiative die’s result. On a turn, you must lock 1-2 dice, or pay money to lock more or none. Unlocked dice must be re-rolled on the next turn. When you lock all your dice, you can take an “arrangement tile” that matches your dice roll and place it on a shelf (player board) in your shop. In addition to scoring points for the flowers themselves, you want to accomplish a task set out at the beginning of the game (six tasks are included, with only one used each game.) The player with the best display after six days wins.”
