This game looks so calming and beautiful. I've seen the small box version at my local board game store, but didn't pick up a copy. Now I am kind of glad I passed on it at the time because the bloom edition looks SO good! I'll definitely be picking up this one.

I hope you love it!

Stoked for this game to come back in print. Have you tried the two player game, Lacuna? It has a similar theme and art style except you are collecting flowers

[@SecondStartotheLeft]

We have! It's also a very lovely game.

I am one of those who was "gifted" and then "gifted" to a few friends (and family). Thanks Michelle and Billie for "gifting" this game to me and getting me hooked on it! Anxious to now "gift" some more! My favorite solo game too, Billie! I have the original version in the box, and I love the small, compact package, but now I NEED to get the 3-D flower version too! No need to decide which to get -- Get Both!

I'm glad you love it too!🧡

I'm so excited to see this game available again! 🎉 Just like you mentioned, I have wanted to gift this game to so many people over the last few years and when it went out of print from the original publisher I was so sad that I could never gift it to anybody 😢

[@SecondStartotheLeft]

It is such a great game to gift!!

Heard so much great things about this game. Would love to try it. Or maybe even give it to my mum. She loves Sudokos but is not so much into boardgames.

Do you know anything about a European release?

[@SecondStartotheLeft]

@@malvinafis6907 I can ask!

[@malvinafis6907]

@@SecondStartotheLeft that would be super kind :)

I got to demo this at BGG spring and I’ll definitely be picking one up at target. ❤

[@SecondStartotheLeft]

Which version do you like?

[@AshleyFroberg]

I’m definitely getting the deluxe one. The 3D flowers are gorgeous.

[@MichaelFlorento]

Love this game.. one of my most played as well. Did they happen to provide a timeline when the Target version will be released?

[@SecondStartotheLeft]

Should be available on June 9 at Target!

I remember the first time you mentioned this game on your channel. I was so sad that I couldn’t get my hands on a copy. Now I have one and I love love love it. I’ve been wondering if there could be an alternative scoring version where you get points for surrounding one of the animal tiles with flowers. Just something I think about while playing.😎🤓🥰 I agree with every word you said about this game. It’s a treat. 🦆🩷

I'm so glad that you found a copy! It's such a special game!
