Spring is on its way, and with it comes our next title for 2026, perfectly matching the theme: Bloom Kingdom!
Our new card game is all about clever timing and combination skills in a flowery kingdom.
What's it about:
Prosperous times in the kingdom! Round after round, you all simultaneously play one card from your hand into the shared display. The more cards of a character are in play, the more valuable they become. However, some played cards significantly influence the display, and only the two scoring cards you still have in your hand at the end of a round score points for you.
So, do you strengthen a character or steal their victory points? And
Are all the conditions for a character to achieve a particularly lucrative score fulfilled? Your goal is to score the most victory points overall with your scoring cards over three rounds.

The minds behind it:
Christian Kudahl He is a game designer from Denmark. He primarily uses his PhD in computer science to optimize gameplay. When he's not developing clever card games, he's probably playing them himself – strictly for research purposes, of course. He achieved great success as the co-author of Agent Avenue and Mindbug.
Thomas Weber is a game designer from Munich. His passion for card games led to the publication of titles such as "Passt nicht!" and "Wave". What he particularly appreciates about game development is the opportunity to be creative and to bring people together through games. Creativity and interpersonal interaction are also important in his work as a self-employed coach and business consultant.
Axel Kuckuk alias Cuculum is an illustrator from the Swabian Alps. In 2024, after completing his doctorate in computer science, he switched from academia to illustration. Alongside his illustration work, he regularly exhibits his often surreal art, works on comics, and collaborates with his wife on board games.
Bloom Kingdom will be released at Berlin Con in July 2026.
