For every plant fan, and even those ambivalent!

This game is phenomenal. A lighter game with the chance to think about your strategy, including if you try to get as many types of plants or try to specialise and chain bonuses! If you love plants, you'll love the gorgeous artwork and the joy of putting the little wooden verdancy tokens on the plants! The KS edition includes the 'Potless plant' expansion which is interesting and gains you green thumbs instead of verdancy... Pick this up, you won't regret it!

Green fingered fun

So at first we looked at the box and thought - not that interested in plants - sounds a bit boring. However, as it had been suggested by one of the knowledgeable members of staff in Bath Thirsty Meeples we decided to give it a try. And - it's amazing how much fun learning about how to grow plants can be.! It's got some of the same mechanics as the very popular Cascadia but adds a few more twists. The plant cards are as expertly drawn with the same type of detail as the beautiful bird cards in Wingspan and even if you are not into house plants we were amazed by some of the strange things we learned about them.

You create a 5 x 3 grid by choosing cards from a selection that are available - you need to make sure you are meeting as many of the plants' needs as you can whilst also adding them to matching rooms that you can gain extra points for. If you add matching items to your rooms such as goldfish bowls or a border collie.

your plants become worth even more. Sounds a little obtuse but it's really addictive and since it has an advanced phase and ALOT of cards then it has great replayability as each time you can try a different tactic to try to gain as many points as possible. Also good to find a game for 5 players. We have bought it and think it will be come one of those games we return to lots.

OVERVIEW

Verdant is a puzzly spatial card game for 1 to 5 players. You take on the role of a houseplant enthusiast trying to create the coziest interior space by collecting and arranging houseplants and other objects within your home. You must position your plants so that they are provided the most suitable light conditions and take care of them to create the most verdant collection.

Each turn, you select an adjacent pair of a card and token, then use those items to build an ever-expanding tableau of cards that represents your home. You need to keep various objectives in mind as you attempt to increase plant verdancy by making spatial matches and using item tokens to take various nurture actions. You can also build your "green thumb" skills, which allows you to take additional actions to care for your plants and create the coziest space!

Kickstarter edition includes promo cards.

1-5 PLAYERS | 30+ MINS | AGES 10+
