Chrysanthemum

A Natural Fantasy Strategy Game where players are Faeries who compete to plant the most flowers on the World Bloom. Chrysanthemum's core gameplay involves gathering seeds in the center of the World Bloom then venturing out onto its petal tips to plant the seeds and collect Guild Runes. Guild Runes enable you to learn spells from the Card Drafting Area. With spells, you can plant and collect seeds at a faster rate, disrupt your opponents, travel across the World Bloom more efficiently, and exchange or enhance your resources. Using spells also increases your chances of finding a Bloom card, which causes the World Bloom to expand, giving you access to many new Guild Runes, spells, and places to plant seeds. You win a game of Chrysanthemum by being the player with the most flowers on the World Bloom. —description from the publisher
