Transform into a dandelion, and float through clear blue skies on a pleasant breeze in this dice-rolling, area-majority game with a little direct-competition edge. Your quest is to find the best spots for your seeds to grow across a variety of vibrant, beautiful, and cozy gardens. In Dandelions, players roll a group of dice, then choose one to move to a beautiful garden. Along the way, you can harness the power of the wind with three special actions - float, puff, and gust - to get the most points. The game ends after all the dice are used, and whoever receives the most victory points as combined from two different scoring methods wins.
Dandelions has 16 videos from 15 creators: 7 reviews, 3 how-to-play guides, 2 playthroughs, 3 unboxings and 1 other video. They date from 2021 to August 2026.
