Description

In Magnolia, you'll lead a variety of creatures to build a kingdom, competing with neighboring countries to come out on top. The game is easy to learn, and with 2 to 5 players, it's a great way to spend 10 to 20 minutes with friends. By placing cards in a 3x3 grid, you'll generate different abilities and bonuses, all in the hopes of gaining fortune and improving your skills. As you play, you'll need to think strategically about which cards to place and where, taking into account position rules that can give you a boost or hold you back. With the ability to play up to two cards per turn, you'll need to balance your actions to maximize your points. The game ends when someone reaches 9 cards or 40 points, and the player with the most points wins, making Magnolia a fun and fast-paced game of abstract strategy and card drafting.
