📖 About This Game
A butterfly garden requires vision and a caring hand. Spring has arrived, and the world is in bloom. As your garden grows, caterpillars will congregate and morph into beautiful butterflies eager for nectar.
Papillon is a tile-drafting, tableau-building, and area majority game for 2-4 players. Over 8 rounds, you will bid for flower tiles to build your garden, attract butterflies to flowers with valuable nectar, and of course, every garden looks better with a gnome. Collect the most nectar at the end of the game and you’ll win!
Papillon Features:
- Beautiful 3D flowers and butterfly components that come alive on your table.
- Approachable rules, yet deep strategic gameplay for expert level play.
- Fun, innovative butterfly mechanic that encourages you to move your butterflies around the garden!
