In Flowers: A Mandala Game, your goal is to collect flower tiles by gaining majorities through clever card play. Skillfully create a mandala to claim the best tiles, combining and multiplying them to create beautiful flowers!

For setup, place the game cloth showing three large "mandala" flowers. Shuffle the 36 half flower tiles into separate decks — 18 black and 18 white, with black flowers being gray, purple, and red on the other side and white being green, orange, and yellow — then place one black and one white tile face-up on each flower. Each player starts with a hand of cards, which come in six colors matching the colors of the flower tiles.

On a player's turn, they place one or more cards of the same color on one of the flowers. (Each player keeps their placed cards separate, facing themselves.) If the color is already present on the mandala, the player flips the card(s) face-down; if not, they leave them face-up. If the player placed one card, they draw two cards from the deck; if they played two or more, they draw no cards.

After placing, if you have at least one face-up card on a flower and more cards than any other player, take the claim "token" for that flower and place it on your cards. Then, if this flower now has all six colors face-up around it, destroy the mandala. Whoever has the claim token on their cards places one of the flower tiles from this mandala in front of them; if they already have a flower tile of the same color, they flip this "completed" flower face-down. Whoever has the second most cards on this mandala takes the second flower tile. Whoever took a flower tile discards all their placed cards on this mandala; everyone else returns their placed cards to their hand. Draw one black and one white tile from the stack to create a new mandala.

Continue playing until someone completes their third flower, then everyone scores their points. Each distinct half flower is worth as many points as there are flowers on it. For each completed flower, if one of the tiles is 3x, triple the number of flowers on the other tile; if both tiles have flowers, double the number of flowers on the tile with fewer flowers. Whoever has the most points wins.
