Hello everyone!
Today we're going to talk about Flowers Mandala!
Mandala enthusiasts, for 2 to 4 players and ages 10 and up, for 30 minutes, get the majority to win!
Have a great day and happy gaming! ;)
The Mandala, associated with ancient and sacred rituals, represents a symbolic map of the universe. Colored sand is spread on the ground, and the Mandala is then destroyed in a ceremony before being recreated.
Players take turns placing cards representing the colored sand. They thus form Mandalas around the three lotus flowers, in order to collect the Flower tiles located in the center of each flower.
Once all six colors are present in a Mandala, the two players who have placed the most cards in it win the Flower tiles. These tiles are worth points individually, but they are worth even more when combined with a tile of the same color.
Starting with the first player, turns proceed clockwise until the end of the game is triggered. On your turn, perform the following four steps: play cards from your hand, draw cards, check if you are collecting any tiles, and complete a Mandala.
Choose any number of cards of the same color from your hand and play them on a single Mandala. Place them on your side of the Mandala, aligned and overlapping, so that the total number of cards played is visible.
Check if the color you are playing is new to this Mandala: compare it to the Flower tiles and any face-up cards already played on this Mandala by any player, including yourself.
If the color is new, place your cards face up. Make sure all players can see the color of the cards. If the color is already present, show your cards to the other players, then place them face down.
Skip this step if, at the end of step 1, you have 8 or more cards remaining in your hand. If you played exactly 1 card (face up or face down), draw up to 4 new cards from the deck and add them to your hand, so that you have a maximum of 8 cards in hand. If you now have more cards in this Mandala (face up and face down) than any other player who has already placed at least one card face up, take the Collection marker and place it on your cards. If you are tied with another player for the most cards, you do not take their Collection marker.
If the Mandala now contains each of the 6 colors, including cards and Flower tiles, this Mandala is complete: you must destroy it. The player with the Collection marker chooses and takes one of the Flower tiles from the Mandala.
The player who has placed the second-highest number of cards, including at least one face up, takes the other Flower tile. Place your Flower tiles face up in front of you.
In case of a tie for the second-highest number of cards, the player who played the most face-up cards in the Mandala takes the tile. If the tie persists, or if there are no other face-up cards in the Mandala, the player with the Collection marker takes both Flower tiles.
Finally, draw one Dark Flower tile and one Light Flower tile to begin a new Mandala. Place them face up together in the center of the Mandala that was just destroyed.
The game ends at the end of the turn in which at least one player has created their third Flower. The game can also end in the rare event that there are no more Flower tiles left when starting a new Mandala.
At the end of the game, the player with the most points is declared the winner.
Good day and good game! ;)
