From BoardGameGeek

Rafflesian is an area control game where fairies compete for nectar on a giant Rafflesia flower. Players simultaneously throw their cards onto the flower, aiming to land on one of the seven available spots. Each spot only counts the topmost card, and if you align three matching cards on different spots, you earn points. Once you score, those cards are placed in front of you, creating your new throwing line, pushing you farther back with each success. As the game progresses, the distance increases, making precise throws more challenging. Hand management becomes crucial, as you have fewer cards to throw. With simple rules and intuitive gameplay, Rafflesian is fun for both adults and children. In a team format, up to 10 players can join the fray! -description from the publisher
