The Secret Flower

A co-operative deduction 16 card micro-game where players must use limited communication to deduce the identity of a single secret card (the “Secret Flower”). Released as a promotional game during Asian Board Games Festival (ABGF) 2023 at Singapore, this game features flowers from the participating countries.

To play, set aside one hidden card as the Secret Flower. Of the remaining cards, about half are given to players who shall keep these flowers’ face down and identities hidden, and half are given to the players as playable hand cards. Players take turns playing their hand cards, strategically asking the questions on those cards in order to reveal partial information on the face down cards. When all cards have been played, most (in the standard game) or all (in the Expert difficulty game) of the players must be able to logically deduce the identity of the Secret Flower in order to win.
