Dandelions
Plant. Blow. Cover the meadow.
A quiet two-player duel on hand-drawn paper. One of you is the Dandelion, planting a flower each turn; the other is the Wind, choosing a compass direction so every flower scatters a seed. There are eight directions and only seven gusts. Fill the whole meadow and the Dandelion wins — leave a single bare cell and the Wind takes it. Offline. No account.
Two roles. One meadow. Seven gusts.
Each turn has two halves: the Dandelion plants, then the Wind blows. Spend your eight directions wisely — there are only seven gusts before the meadow is judged.
Plant a flower
The Dandelion taps any empty cell to grow a flower — or taps an existing seed to upgrade it into a full flower.
Pick a wind
The Wind chooses one of the eight compass directions. Each direction can be used only once across the whole game.
Scatter the seeds
Every flower drops a seed into the cell next to it in the chosen direction — but only if that cell is empty. Seeds never chain.
Judge the field
After seven gusts the meadow is read. Every cell covered? The Dandelion wins. A single bare cell? The Wind wins. No draws.
The real game: where the wind can't reach
Dandelions looks gentle, but it hides a tense little race. The Wind only has seven of its eight gusts, and seeds never spread from seeds — so corners, edges and cells the wind keeps skipping are where the game is won and lost. The Dandelion must plant where future gusts will branch out; the Wind must pick directions that strand bare patches the flowers can never reach. The Easy AI plants happily anywhere; the Smart AI reads the open cells and the directions still in play, and sets the meadow up to fall its way.
Dandelions is a modern pen-and-paper area game of two opposing goals — fill the field, or leave it bare.Pick your meadow. Pick your rival.
Two field sizes — a brisk 5×5 or the wide-open 7×7 — and three tiers of AI, plus pass-and-play for two on one phone.
Standard 5×5
Twenty-five cells, seven gusts. Tight and tactical — every flower and every wind choice really counts. The perfect first field.
Big Meadow 7×7
Forty-nine cells to fill with the same seven gusts. More room means harder coverage — a real test for the Dandelion.
Two looks
Play on the cozy Classic Notebook paper, or flip to the glowing Siber Glow theme for a brighter, neon meadow at night.
Smart AI
Reads the open cells and the directions still unused, then plants or blows to corner you. The toughest gardener — and the toughest wind.
Medium AI
A balanced rival that covers the obvious cells and spends its gusts sensibly — the right step up from the warm-up.
Easy AI & Pass & Play
A relaxed opponent for learning the flow — or hand the phone back and forth, Dandelion against Wind, for offline two-player duels.
