Description
In Haru Ichiban, two apprentice gardeners compete to create harmonious patterns of blossoms on lilypads in a 5x5 pond. The game is easy to learn, making it accessible to new players, and each round takes about 20 minutes to play. With simultaneous action selection and hand management, players must strategically choose which flower buds to reveal and where to place their blossoms. As players take turns placing and moving blossoms, they aim to create specific patterns to score points. The game ends when a player reaches five or more points, making it a quick and challenging competition. With its unique blend of grid movement, memory, and pattern building, Haru Ichiban is a fun and engaging abstract strategy game that's perfect for two players looking for a puzzle to solve together.
