Petals

Players build a shared garden by playing cards that each depict four colored elemental flower segments with numbers. On a turn, a player chooses one of two hand cards and may combine it with cards already on the table to match numbers, colors, or both and score on four separate Elemental Trackers. Some cards carry Elemental Symbols that boost scoring or allow repositioning of an existing card to trigger additional scoring. The game rewards having the highest value on at least one tracker, but victory requires maintaining balance across all four trackers, so players manage scoring spread as well as individual gains.
