🌸 FLOWER Ownership — Key Mechanic
👑
Owner = alliance whose NECTAR is the top-most in the FLOWER
🎯
Owner scores +2 pts for every piece inside — POLLEN + both NECTARs + opponent's pieces. Max 8 pieces per FLOWER
⚔️
Placing your NECTAR on top of the opponent's transfers ownership — a key late-match move
⬇️
Bottom NECTAR Bonus (+5 per FLOWER) — alliance with NECTAR deepest in each FLOWER. Can be a different alliance than the owner. Max 20 pts across all 4 FLOWERs
💡
Max single FLOWER: 8 pieces ×2 = 16 + BNB 5 = 21 pts · All 4 FLOWERs dominated = 84 pts
