In Rose Valley, players step into the shoes of landowners in the scenic Bulgarian valley between the Balkan Mountains and the Sredna Gora. Over the course of several years (represented as sequential seasons), you claim plots of land, build houses, and develop estates to grow roses, lavender, and vineyards. As the landscape changes with overlapping field-cards, each decision matters: will you expand your holdings, build a big house for extra points, or attempt co-ops with other players and share harvests?
At the end, you harvest your crops, gather honey from beehives, and may also perform conservation of ancient Thracian tombs — all adding up to victory points. The player with the most points from harvests, goals, and estates wins. The game combines area-building, resource collection, and strategic planning across seasons: it’s easy to learn, but offers meaningful choices each turn as the valley evolves under all players’ influence.
