Rare Roses

In the town of Bloomsville people live a life of beauty, and floral frolicking. The town is known for its rare rose shops and gardens. However, it’s not all rosy. The competition is tight and the town is full of fierce florists flogging their fanciful floral wares. Are you up to the task? Will you corner the market on Black, Blue or perhaps Striped Dragon roses and force your competitors to come to you for roses? Will you plan ahead and get the biggest and best profits from the high-end orders? Or will you fill lots of little lucrative lovelies and leave little for others? Many strategies, many roses, much money. Test your entrepreneurial ingenuity in this fun interactive game for 2 to 6 players. It will only take you about an hour or just a bit more if you’re negotiations are fierce. Anyone from children to our esteemed elders will enjoy a friendly bout of Rare Roses. Rare Roses is a game featuring the art of Nene Thomas where you play a floral designer specializing in rare roses. You will compete against other floral designers to be the best floral designer in town. You will purchase rose buds from the market for your stock. You must manage your stock from buds, to blooms, and eventually you will lose that stock if you don’t use it to fill orders. Each player will have a Rose Specialty of a particular rose they need to focus on. If they can fill more orders of their specialist type than all the other players, they will gain a bonus at the end of the game. Orders are filled from an Order Card deck and the game ends when there are no more orders to fill. Rare Roses is a family weight game that is easy to understand and offers hours of entertainment for the whole family. —description from the publisher
