Description
Papillon is a delightful game where you get to build your own butterfly garden, complete with beautiful flowers and of course, a few friendly butterflies. As one of 2 to 4 players, you'll take turns bidding for flower tiles to add to your garden, trying to create the perfect spot for your butterflies to gather nectar. With easy-to-learn rules, this game is approachable for new players, but don't be fooled - there's plenty of depth for strategic play. Over the course of 30 to 45 minutes, you'll draft tiles, place them in your garden, and attract butterflies to the flowers with the most valuable nectar. The goal is simple: collect the most nectar by the end of the game and you'll be declared the winner. With its unique blend of auction, card drafting, and tile placement mechanics, Papillon is a fun and engaging game that's perfect for anyone who loves abstract strategy and animals.
