The Little Flower Shop Express

This game is an express version of The Little Flower Shop. It consists of 15 Shop Cards, 15 Star Cards, 1 Turn Card, and 5 rules cards. In the game, players will build little flower shops consisting of 6 shop cards and 6 scoring cards. By game's end, the shop cards are arranged in 2 rows of 3 cards each. The star cards have scoring conditions that may be turned to point either sideways across the rows or downward along the columns. Players try to maximize points by having the star cards match the items in the rows and columns. The game is played over 3 rounds. In each round, there is a set method for taking shop and star cards from a common area, as described on the turn order card. Players will take the cards and construct their shops. At game end, players score for various vases and flowers that match the star cards, plus they can score a bonus for the stuffed animals they've collected. This game is part of Dr Finn's Express Games Series #1, which includes 3 other express games. It is not available as a separate item. —description from the publisher
