More about this game
Clover & Bloom is a turn-based garden puzzle where you plant clovers or blooms on grids ranging from 2x2 to 6x6. Your goal is to connect a specific number of pieces in a row before the computer opponent does. As you play Endless Mode, the grid size and opponent skill increase. A run ends when either you or the computer completes a winning line, or if the board fills up resulting in a draw.
Tips
- Watch the computer opponent's moves closely; it will actively try to block your lines or set up its own winning connections on the board.
- In larger grids like the 5x5 or 6x6, try to create multiple potential winning lines simultaneously to outsmart the computer.
- Pay close attention to the blocked stone or bush patches on the board, as they cannot be played on and will disrupt your planned connections.
Questions
How many pieces do I need to connect to win?
The number of pieces needed to win depends on the grid size. For a 2x2 grid, you need 2 in a row. For larger grids, you need at least 3 in a row.
What happens if the board fills up?
If the garden bed fills up completely and neither you nor the computer has completed a winning line, the game ends in a draw and you must try again.
How does Endless Mode work?
In Endless Mode, you play through consecutive rounds. The grid size starts at 3x3 and increases up to 5x5 as you progress, and the computer opponent becomes more skilled.
