Valley of a Thousand Flowers is a board game created by Doebi and ananasblau during the 2013 game jam at the Ars Electronica Festival hosted by Austria Game Jam.

On Friday evening we did sketch the basic gameplay and a few versions of the rules and started with the hexagons for the tiles. Saturday midday we cut out a sheet of hexagon tiles and had the first playtest going followed by many more during the day with various visitors.

Rules: rules.
