Tussie Mussie: Complete Collection

About this board game

Tussie Mussie: Complete Collection is a 2024 microgame for 1–4 players that takes about 30 minutes to play. Using 18 cards, it unfolds across three rounds of careful choices, flower meanings, and scoring.

Tussie mussies reflect a Victorian custom in which flowers exchanged between friends and lovers carried particular meanings. Inspired by elegance and discretion, the game invites you to assemble a bouquet that can convey a subtle message while pursuing the highest score.

At the heart of the game is I-Divide-You-Choose drafting. On your turn, look at the top two cards of the deck, then offer them to an opponent: place one face-up and the other face-down. Your opponent chooses one card, leaving the other for you.

• 18-card microgame: A compact card game built around flower-themed choices.
• Three rounds: Each round ends when every player has four cards.
• Shared decisions: Offer a visible card and a hidden card, then let an opponent choose.
• Scoring race: Tally scores at the end of each round; the highest total after three rounds wins.

Every offer creates a small puzzle: which card should be revealed, and which should remain a mystery? Because the opponent chooses first, each decision asks you to weigh what you want against what you are willing to give away.

With its Victorian floral theme and concise drafting system, Tussie Mussie: Complete Collection presents a focused contest of presentation, selection, and scoring in a small package.
