About the game

What is Floristry?

Floristry is a 2 player, tile-laying game. Players compete at the historic Aalsmeer Dutch Auction to win the best flowers and then use them to create the most charming window display. Each round features a Dutch auction, where the clock counts down from 15 seconds while the price drops every 3 seconds. The unique web app runs your auctions, so you have to think fast, bid carefully, and pay close attention to get what you want at the right price-- but also keep an eye on what your rival needs. Players simultaneously and strategically place their new flowers into their storefront frame. At the end of the game, players will earn Charm from their largest patch of each flower type, and whoever has the most Charm wins. —description from the designer
