Game
«Sieben Blüten»: The LeoZeit strategy game is now online
There is a game now. Right here on the site, in the very heart of the world of «LeoZeit: Schatten», you can now roll your way through two worlds: «Sieben Blüten» — a small strategy game for the browser, with nothing to download, on your phone as well as on your computer.
What it’s about
The board stretches across the novel’s two worlds: summertime Leonberg and the frozen Ice World, joined by the Gate. Seven magic blossoms lie scattered around the board — gather four of them before winter takes them, and you win. You roll the dice, choose your own path at every fork and decide afresh with each move: advance and gather — or stoke the cold and freeze a blossom away from your opponent just before they reach it.
Land exactly on your opponent’s square and you knock them back. And winter does not wait: with every round it creeps closer of its own accord and freezes the distant blossoms at the edge of the Ice World. So it is not only about gathering, but about getting the timing right — and about a little malice at just the right moment.
Solo or for two
You can play against the computer at three difficulty levels — from relaxed to genuinely demanding — as two players on one device (with a small hand-over screen between moves), against a random opponent online, or with a friend via a code on two devices. The full rules are right below the board — but if you would rather start playing straight away, you will get by just fine without them.
A universe you can touch
From the very beginning, LeoZeit was more than a book: a novel, a soundtrack, a film — and now a game. The idea behind it is always the same: a world you do not just read, but can step into. «Sieben Blüten» is the next small step into that world — and perhaps the most enjoyable one.
You will also find the game embedded on the page The World of LeoZeit and on the book page for «LeoZeit: Schatten».
