Bloomchasers is a vibrant 3D strategy board game featuring a blooming tree centerpiece. Players use "Sun," "Wind," and "Rain" cards alongside tokens and flower pieces to outmaneuver opponents. Launching soon on Kickstarter, this captivating game promises hours of strategic fun.

The Kickstarter campaign for Bloomchasers, a light strategy board game, has significantly exceeded its initial funding target. With a goal of $10,000, the campaign has already raised $43,859 thanks to the support of 945 backers, with 29 days remaining until its conclusion on May 11.

Designed by Evan and Josh, who have previously launched successful games on Kickstarter, Bloomchasers is described as a 30-minute game that combines aesthetic appeal with engaging gameplay. Players, known as “Bloomchasers,” strategically place branches and buds on a 3D tree, aiming to outmaneuver their opponents and grow flowers by predicting weather patterns which influence each round of play.

In addition to the base game, the creators have introduced the Birds and Bees Expansion Pack, which adds new strategic elements to gameplay, such as Birds that can block or protect buds and Beehive Branches that enhance scoring opportunities.
