When spring breaks out, the cutest little gardeners you have even seen wakes up – Bianca the bee, Fitz the fly, Sophia the butterfly, Nikki the ladybird and Sami the dragonfly. The game contains two ways of playing. In variant 1, you and your friends gather on the meadow to bet on and watch the little insects having a race. On your turn you will play cards to move one insect forward and watch the chain effects being triggered if it lands on a rocket token, which triggers the movement of another insect, that might trigger the movement of a third insect etc. In the end, you will receive points based on how well the insects you placed your bet on performed in the race. In variant 2, you will play as one of the insects and take on the task of pollinating some of the flowers in the meadow. Try to remember where the species you have chosen are placed to avoid flying in vain. The first insect to have pollinated all flowers of its chosen species win the game. —description from the publisher One of the biggest board game stores in Sweden, Spelexperten, has selected Little Gardeners as one of six Christmas gift recommendations for children (2025), with the following reasoning: Little Gardeners is an adorably cute 2-in-1 game that lets children step into the role of real nature heroes! 🌸🐝 In the first game, a vibrant garden race awaits, where simple but clever choices help you bet on the right insect to reach the finish line first.
