Oh My. Orchids!

About this board game

Oh My. Orchids! is a flower-gathering board game for 2–5 players that plays in about 30 minutes. Set in sunny Singapore, it challenges you to collect seed cards and plant different types of Singaporean flowers in your garden.

Each turn, choose between gathering seeds from the display or planting flowers. To collect seed cards, take all cards in the five-card display that share a color or share the number of seeds. This flexible choice creates plenty of difficult decisions as you weigh the cards you need against the cards your opponents may want.

Hand management is crucial. If gathering seeds leaves you with more than seven cards, you must discard down to seven, losing 1 point for every wasted card. Timing your collections can therefore be just as important as finding the right colors and numbers.

To plant a flower, match the seed requirements shown for the different flowers in the display. Orchids are harder to match, but they reward successful planting with the most points. Other flowers offer different opportunities, making set collection an important part of your overall garden strategy.

• Gather seed cards by matching a color or seed number.
• Plant flowers by meeting their seed requirements.
• Manage your hand to avoid losing points from excess cards.
• Earn a bonus for collecting at least four flower types.

When one player has at least seven flowers, everyone else gets one final turn to plant. Then players total their flower points, including any bonus for having at least four types of flowers. In Oh My. Orchids!, the player with the most flower points wins.
