FloraVista is a card matching game where players try to curate their own botanical garden with plants from around the world. In FloraVista, gameplay is divided into twelve rounds called Seasons. During each Season, players can draw cards and play Matching Pairs, consisting of one Plant and Region Card, to build out their Player Garden. At the start of the game, each player selects one of eight historic botanists, represented by Specialist Cards, that earn bonus points at the end of the game. Plant Cards range in value from 1 to 5 Cultivation Points. They can only be played in certain seasons and with certain Region Cards. The Plant Cards that can only be planted in one Season and one Region are worth 5 Cultivation Points. The Plant Cards that are the easiest to play are worth only 1 Cultivation Point, but they offer players bonus abilities to offset their lower value. FloraVista is easy to learn but rich in strategy. Players must adapt to maximize their Cultivation Points and build the best garden. Welcome to FloraVista: Our World. Your Garden! -description from the designer
