Trellis is a board game that doesn't require any in depth thinking, adds a little strategy, doesn't take long to learn or play at all and has the added benefit of looking quite lovely as the 'board' grows. The game starts with the starting tile being placed in the middle of your playing area, each player then gets three tiles and a set of coloured flowers, these flowers being the item you want to get rid of in order to win the game. Each turn you place down a tile, if you can, match the colour of the vine it is touching (but it isn't a necessity). You then place down a flower on the vine and hope that you can then place a flower on the next tile, if the touching vine matches colour.
This is one of those games that we found a little confusing at first but a few plays and we were racing along, trying to make nice long vines. Each time you place a tile you get to place a flower, if the vine connects to another of the same colour on an adjacent tile, place a flower on that one, plus any tiles that add to vines you're already place on. The small bit of strategy comes in deciding if it is worth making a match that allows another player to place one of their flowers down (if they do you can place a bonus flower). My eldest really enjoys the game, which I never expected him to. This certainly gets ticks for looking lovely but it is well suited to being a time filler when you need something to do.
