 This is done by each card offering a 3 pairing solution, e.g. you have a thistle card, you can either have 2 thistles, or one thistle and one rose, or one thistle, one rose and one ivy. or perhaps it is 2 thistles base combo and extends the base combo to 2 thistles + 1 ivy, and extend it to 2 thistles + 1 ivy + 1 rose. for maximum effect.
+you have a total of 7 cards in hand.
+first player draws a card from the draw pile and swaps it with one of the cards on hand or discards the card they drew, placing it face up on the table.
+from there on, the players can either draw from the discard or from the draw pile, swapping cards on their hand.
+the game ends once there are 10 cards on the table.
+the players then tally any combo they have on hand, with 1 point per card of the combos on hand. e.g. if there is a combo with 3 cards each having a combo with one another, this would be worth 9 points.
+--- update ---
+The idea here is that there are a total of 66 cards in the deck, and it supports 1 to 8 players. With all 8 players, the draw deck only contains 10 cards, of which all will go into the discard area to end the game.
+On average, players should have pretty equal scoring between 14 to 18 points.
+point distribution is based on the number of combos and unique flowers. so say you have:
+poppy = 1 point (unique flower)
+poppy also has the combo requirement of:
+poppy = 2 points
+poppy = 2 points
+poppy = 4 points
+this fulfills.
