🐸 HOW TO PLAY
1. Roll your dice and prepare the dandelion
Each player has 11 dice of their color. At the start of the game, they roll them and arrange them neatly: these represent the seeds ready to fly. The game is played on five gardens arranged in a circle, each with a different scoring value.
2. Choose a die and move your marker
On your turn, choose one of your available dice and move your marker (the dandelion) as many spaces as the number of spots on the die. If the dandelion lands on top of another, it jumps forward until it finds an open spot.
3. Plant the die and activate the “blow” if possible
Once you stop, you plant the die in the garden you just landed in. If there are other dice of the same value, you blow them into the next garden, creating a strategic effect to displace opponents or gain space.
4. Play 11 rounds and try to get the best placement
Each player exhausts their dice after 11 turns. During the game, you'll have to decide whether to aim for control of a garden or diversify, making the most of the power of your breath weapon and the value of the areas.
5. Add the points: control and value of the dice planted
At the end of the game you get points in two ways:
– for each garden where you have dice , multiply the number of dice by the value of the garden;
– if you are the player with the most dice in a garden , you add the values of your dice as a bonus.
Whoever has the highest total score… wins!

It won us over with its balance: accessible to newcomers, stimulating for the more experienced , perfect as an intelligent filler between more substantial titles.
Aesthetically refined, it offers that feeling of relaxation that only a well-designed game can give.
A little gem for those who love short games but full of meaningful decisions.
