📖 About This Game
In Petals, you'll have to create an enchanting garden where you'll combine Elemental Flowers while trying to maintain a delicate balance. You'll have to earn points on four different Elemental Trackers. And you'll have to do so in a balanced way because... winning doesn't always mean victory.
Each Petals card contains parts of four Elemental Flowers of different colors, and each Flower contains a different number. On your turn, you will have two cards in your hand to choose which one to play, along with any cards already on the table.
Your goal will be to match numbers, colors, or both, and thus score points on each of the four Elemental Trackers, while a beautiful garden forms before your eyes.
In addition, some cards contain Elemental Symbols, which will allow you to score higher or even reposition a card that is already on the table to score again.
Lastly, you must have the highest score in at least one of the four Trackers, but you will only win if you have maintained balance in all of them.
Petals is a beautiful, simple, and challenging game. Each card is unique, and every game will be one of a kind.
—description from the publisher
En Petals, tendrás que crear un jardín encantador en el que combinarás Flores Elementales mientras intentas mantener un delicado equilibrio. Tendrás que ganar puntos en cuatro Marcadores Elementales diferentes. Y tendrás que hacerlo de forma equilibrada porque... ganar no siempre significa la victoria.
Cada carta de Petals contiene partes de cuatro Flores Elementales de colores distintos y cada Flor contiene un número diferente. En tu turno tendrás dos cartas en la mano para elegir cuál te conviene jugar, junto a alguna carta que ya esté sobre la mesa.
Tu objetivo será hacer coincidir números, colores o ambas cosas, y así puntuar en cada uno de los cuatro Marcadores Elementales, mientras se va formando un precioso jardín ante tus ojos.
Además, algunas cartas contienen Símbolos de Elementos, que te permitirán incrementar tu puntuación o, incluso, coger una carta que ya esté colocada sobre la mesa y cambiarla de posición para puntuar de nuevo.
Y, por fin, para poder ganar tendrás que haber ganado en, al menos, uno de los cuatro Marcadores, pero solo ganarás si has conservado el equilibrio entre todos ellos.
Petals es un juego bonito, sencillo y exigente. Cada carta es única y cada partida será irrepetible.
