Universe
Sydney's Royal Botanic Garden holds a special place in the hearts of locals. World renowned for its location, beauty, historical and scientific significance, each of its 29 hectares are not only stunning, but a calming retreat from the city's streets.
Gameplay
In Botanic Gardens - from the design duo behind Elysium, etc. - players will draft cards depicting different features of the Gardens, using them to build their own portion of it in front of themselves. Players will then score points based on what their visitors see as they walk past the Gardens' various flower beds, ponds native trees and statues. The tableau you build will have three rows — waterside, grass, and cityside — and you add one card a turn until the area is filled.
The game is accessible and simple to learn, yet offers strategic choices. Its included modules and variants add replayability and depth for experienced players. These include landmarks (such as the Opera House and Harbour Bridge) that players can gain for extra points or special abilities.
