“Tussie Mussie” is a card game designed by Elizabeth Hargrave, the creator of the award-winning game “Wingspan.” It’s based on the Victorian fad that assigned meanings to the flowers that friends and lovers exchanged. Featuring a small deck of beautifully illustrated flower cards, each with its own special significance and game effect, players take turns in a unique “I split, you choose” mechanic to build their own arrangements of flowers (tussies).
Players must strategize to collect flowers that work well together to score points based on their individual properties and the combinations they form. The game is appreciated for its compact size, making it highly portable and easy to play in a short amount of time. With a mix of strategy, set collection, and hidden information, “Tussie Mussie” offers an engaging and thoughtful experience wrapped in a charming historical theme.
