About the project

In Flowers, players grow their own garden by placing colourful flower cards one at a time. Each card requires a group of a specific size, so colour patches must be grown carefully while building sets and making the most of butterflies. Fast to play from 1 to 4 players, it has become one of the most played games on BGA with over 1.3 million games.

Challenges and Risks

  • Handle an infinite play zone for each player
  • Connected-area checks to validate each group’s size
  • Solo challenge with daily, weekly or monthly rankings stored across games
  • Migration to the new BGA framework while the game was live
  • Performance and stability under very high traffic
