Pollen
In Pollen you create a lush garden of beautiful blooms in order to attract helpful pollinators to their favorite flowers in this abstract tile laying game.
Gameplay
Plant Flowers – Place a garden card next to at least one pollinator token
Attract Pollinators – Form a line with a garden card in another player’s color, draw a pollinator token and place it next to the newly created line!
Pollinate Flowers – When a pollinator token is encircled by flowers, it’s attracted to that player’s garden! Add up the values on flower cards that match the pollinator.
Become the Best Garden – When any type of scoring token runs out, all pollinator tokens have been placed, or all players have run out of garden cards, the game ends and it’s time to score.
If you have two majorities in two pollinator tokens you win the game. The total amount of pollinator tokens a player collected determines the winner in case of a tie.
Summarised
In it’s core Pollen is an area control game. Don’t let the beautiful looks of the production fool you. This is a cutthroat game, where you constantly fighting over good spots in the garden. Especially as a two player game you can feel the tension building up as the game progresses.
