Ratings and reviews

Primrows is a nice and cozy puzzler that feels akin to sudoku and "Roll & Write" games (Yahtzee, That's Pretty Clever, etc.) with its logic and luck mechanics! I like making the most out of gardens while also mitigating risk whenever possible, and it's especially neat in modes that have multiple scoring sections, making you decide on what category to aim for on the fly. All the different challenges and their unique rules are pretty interesting to tackle too!

Well made game. I really want the ability to cut flowers before scoring. It feels bad when you know a new flower has a 4/5ths chance to mess you up, and you would do better with nothing there! Currently it's like Yahtzee except the last roll can remove some of the numbers you already rolled.

Played this as a demo at Midwest Gaming Classic last year and have been super excited for it to launch since! Downloaded it as soon as I got the "it's available" email!
