Bloom

Bloom: Build floral runs to score big points

In Bloom, you must assemble the brightest tile runs to collect the highest score. Play your tiles at the right moment, seize the best opportunities, and keep an eye on opponents who might try to steal your combinations. Every flower matters, and each choice brings you closer to victory… or to a penalty if you keep too many tiles in hand.

How to play Bloom?

A game of Bloom is played over two rounds. On your turn, you choose between three actions: draw one or two tiles, play a run of at least three tiles to gain a Reward token, or extend an existing run to lighten your hand. Certain runs let you take jokers, which can stand for any value. You may also steal one or two tiles from an opponent’s run to build your own, as long as you follow the construction rules. The more flowers a run contains, the more points it yields, but each unplayed flower at the end of a round costs you a point. After two rounds, the player with the most points wins.
