Explanation of Game Conditions
Create a stunning botanical masterpiece in Arboretum, a beautifully strategic card game where every decision matters.
In this clever blend of set collection, tile-laying, and hand management, 2-4 players compete to cultivate the most breathtaking garden paths. The deck features 80 cards across 10 different tree species, each numbered 1 through 8. Players take turns drawing, placing, and discarding cards to form orthogonally adjacent paths of ascending values. But there’s a twist—only the player who holds the highest sum of a tree’s value in their hand at the end of the game can score that species!
With elegantly simple rules but deep, tactical choices, Arboretum is a game of patience, planning, and perfect timing. Will your garden flourish, or will your opponents outmaneuver you?
