Game Review: Rose Ceremony

At first glance, Rose Ceremony is a weird little game. You think, “Is this the bachelor as a game?” But then you play it and realize it’s a brilliant fast-paced, card-based bluffing game. Pass a card from your hand to another player. They either accept it or they don’t. If they accept, they keep it. It could be a great rose with a lot of petals and few thorns...or it could be the opposite. If they decline your card, you’re stuck with it. As you build bouquets, you turn them in for heart points. First person to five heart points wins. At $12.99 it’s a fantastic game to add to your collection. Ages 8+ for 3-6 players.
