PLAYED FOR YOU

Sum Sum

3 drops of Nectar under yellow!

Bees are flying across the flower meadow and collect as many nectar drops from the individual flowers as they can.

12 double-sided wooden tiles show flowers in white, yellow, red and blue, always with either one, two or three drops of nectar on the backside. The cards are spread out flower side up on the meadow, that is, the green cloth mat. You roll the die; For a color you take a flower tile of this color, show the bottom side to all other players and place the flower in front of you. When there is no corresponding flower tile left, you take a flower from another player. When you roll a rain cloud you must miss this turn. When you roll the honey pot, you take any flower of your choice from the mat or from another player.

As each player must show the back side of each flower that he takes from the mat to all other players, all players know how many drops of nectar can be gotten from another player; therefore you should try to remember well where someone placed his flowers with lots of honey on the backside. But you must also show flowers that you take from other players  so that they know where you place them. When all flower tiles have been collected, you win with most drops of nectar on the back sides of your flower tiles.

Couldn’t be more simple, at least in the rules department, and yet there is a lot of fun hiding in the game; the images are pretty and the educational effect nearly indiscernible, but there - you train recognition and assigning of colors, memory and even a bit of tactic: Maybe I only take a 2-drop flower from my neighbor and can keep it? Probably easier than if I took a 3-drop flower!
