Arboretum

Arboretum is a captivating strategy card game that transforms your tabletop into a thriving botanical garden. Designed for 2-4 players aged 10 and up, this elegant game combines set collection, tile-laying, and hand management into an engaging experience that plays in about 25 minutes—perfect for game nights that don't demand hours of commitment. The gameplay revolves around cultivating the most impressive arboretum by strategically managing a hand of cards representing ten different tree species. With 80 beautifully designed cards numbered 1-8 in each color, you'll draw cards, build orthogonally adjacent paths of increasing values, and discard strategically to outmaneuver opponents. The tension builds as you decide which cards to keep and which to release to your personal discard pile, knowing your rivals might snatch them. Scoring rewards both tactical planning and botanical beauty. Create paths that begin and end with matching tree colors to earn points, with bonus rewards for pure-species paths. The player holding the highest card values in each color determines who scores for that tree species, adding a delightful push-your-luck element. Victory goes to whoever cultivates the most valuable garden. Whether you're a seasoned strategist or introducing newcomers to modern board games, Arboretum delivers accessible depth, quick gameplay, and endless replayability. It's the perfect blend of beautiful design and brain-burning decisions that keeps players coming back for one more round.
