Description
In Paint the Roses, you and your friends take on the roles of Royal Gardeners, working together to complete the palace grounds according to the Queen of Hearts' ever-changing whims. Set in the fantastical world of Alice in Wonderland, this cooperative game requires strategy, logic, and teamwork to stay one step ahead of the Queen. With easy-to-learn rules, 2 to 5 players can join in on the fun, which typically lasts around 50 to 70 minutes. As you place shrub tiles into the garden, you'll reveal clues and tokens that help you guess the secret whim cards held by your fellow players. While you can't discuss your own card, you can openly share theories and make guesses about others. Correct guesses move you forward, but incorrect ones will have the Queen closing in. Designed by Ben Goldman and published in 2022, Paint the Roses is a thrilling puzzle game that automatically adapts to your skill level, keeping you on your toes until the very end.
