Our Expert Score

89/100

Lotus Digital is a rare example of a board game adaptation that actually manages to enhance the original's atmosphere. The game is fundamentally about the 'quiet strength' of a garden, where players add petals to flowers to control them. The digital version captures this perfectly with vibrant visual effects and a meditative soundtrack that turns a competitive tactical game into a relaxing experience.

The gameplay itself is deep and dynamic. You aren't just growing flowers; you're utilizing guardians and special abilities to outmaneuver your opponents in a quest for 'enlightenment' (wisdom points). The AI is surprisingly capable, offering a genuine challenge for solo players, but the smooth touch controls make it equally fun for pass-and-play. It’s a beautiful, zen-like experience that successfully blends minimalist rules with high-stakes, almost 'cut-throat' competition.

Lotus is a beautiful game that grows into a unique work of art every time you play.

Clear your head and take in the quiet strength of the Lotus garden. It takes skillful care and nurturing to grow these flowers to their full potential, but once picked, they provide their owner with wisdom. Beware, for there are others who will do anything they can to get their hands on these mystical flowers. You'll need to enlist the help of creatures native to this land to take control of the Lotus garden and achieve true enlightenment.

In Lotus, players take turns adding petals and utilizing guardians to control and nurture these mystical flowers to maturity. Collect special abilities as you grow to aid you on your quest, and gain wisdom points for each completed bloom. At the end of the game the player with the most wisdom points will emerge from the garden that much closer to enlightenment!

Vibrant visual effects, skilled AI, meditative environmental music and smooth touch play translate the serenity of Lotus to your phone or tablet.
