Double the Fun with Flora Funga

Outset Media and Kendric Winks have truly spoiled us with an adorable new release, and we think it looks likely to be a massive hit this summer, especially for families! Flora Funga is two games in one, so get ready to grow and flourish with these two unique and nature themed games.

Read on to find out exactly why the Chaos Cards team fell in love with these brilliantly designed games.

First impressions matter, and Flora Funga does not disappoint; the packaging and elements of the game really help it to standout from other games. The game box isn’t just for storage; it actually unfolds to become the game board. We feel this is an incredibly satisfying design choice. To make things better, the board is magnetic, making setting up and playing feel exceptionally smooth and sturdy. Finally, the box features a neat little storage system where every single component has its own perfect place. It’s designs like this that make board gaming feel refreshing and fun!

Flora is a pattern-creation game designed for two players that follows the natural lifecycle of a dandelion.

How it plays: Dandelions sprout, bloom, and scatter their seeds in an ever-changing cycle. Get ready to place plants, buds, flowers, and seed heads to form patterns that match your secret mission cards. Remember that the landscape shifts with every single turn. Make sure you choose your missions wisely, and plan your moves carefully to stay ahea of the game. The first player to fulfill and discard all their mission cards wins.

If you prefer mushrooms to dandelions, just flip the board and get ready to play Funga, where players compete to build intricate fungal networks.

How it plays: Place mushrooms to complete mission patterns, scoring points as you plant, connect, and block your opponent's path to victory. Funga introduces special powers that grant players unique abilities that can unexpectedly flip the game on its head. Whoever makes the best fungal landscape scores the most points and becomes the ultimate Master of Fungi!

We love that Flora Funga has two distinct games in one box, giving you plenty of variety for game night. Both modes are fairly simple and easy to pick up and fast paced, with an average game lasting just 15 to 20 minutes. We think the game is perfect for fans of A Gentle Rain, Azul and Carcassonne.

The team here at Chaos Cards loved having the chance to play through both variations. The natural, organic themes feel really relaxing, which we think make the game a perfect choice for any chilled-out gaming sessions. We highly recommend picking up Flora Funga in time for Summer, it’s perfect for those warm evenings spent with family and friends.
