In Anthokyklos, your objective is simple: reveal and claim the most interesting patterns at the center of a flower as it takes shape. On each turn, you add a petal or reserve a pattern, trying to create the best opportunities for yourself… without offering too many to the other players.

Anthokyklos is a pattern-building and observation game based on shape recognition, anticipation, and timing.

As the game unfolds, the flower grows from the center outward. Patterns repeat, overlap, and appear at multiple scales, sometimes allowing you to complete several cards in a single turn. The rules are simple, but mastering the board requires attention, planning, and a good sense of opportunity.
