Lotus
Players cultivate a shared garden of mystical flowers by drafting and playing petal cards to bid for blooms. Each round, players reveal cards to influence which flowers grow and which are claimed, then recruit creatures that grant special abilities and scoring opportunities. Gameplay emphasizes timing and tableau-building as players manage hand resources, compete for specific blossoms, and pursue card-based combos to score wisdom points.

Evan0.9 This is a terrible card game, with beautiful art. The general idea is that you start building flowers with cards, and then other players complete them, getting a bonus, and win a majority scoring on them, getting another bonus. Then you either hope that happens for you eventually, or just set someone up for another score. Abysmal waste of time and waste of beautiful artwork.
Mitchell C3.5 A very pretty game, but the gameplay leaves a bit to be desired.
