Read the full game description

Frosted Blooms is a welcoming spatial puzzle about building the most admired tulip garden in the Netherlands. Over ten rounds, each player selects a landscape tile from a rotating market, adds it to a personal garden, then plays a card to score a pattern created by that placement. Leaving deliberate gaps is as important as joining flowers and waterways: enclosed spaces can become workers, barns, or windmills worth substantial end-game points. Shared objectives reward players who reach arrangements first, while hand management asks you to decide which scoring card matters now and which should be saved. The garden grows into a colorful record of every choice, and the dedicated solo cards preserve the same satisfying rhythm for one player.
