Bonsai

Description

Bonsai: Vigorous Growth and Specialists is the perfect expansion to take your Bonsai game to the next level. Released in 2023, this expansion adds two exciting modules that can be used individually or together to give you more ways to play. With easy-to-learn rules, you can dive right in and start enjoying the new challenges and opportunities it brings. Whether you're playing solo or with up to three friends, you'll love the fresh twists this expansion brings to the classic game. The "Vigorous Growth" module lets you accelerate your bonsai tree's development by acquiring special tiles. You can discard cards from your deck or play area to get your hands on these powerful tiles, which can give you a serious boost. The catch is that you can only discard cards of different types, so you'll need to think strategically about which ones to let go of. Each player can only get one of these triple tiles per game, so you'll need to make the most of it. On the other hand, the "Specialists" module lets you declare yourself a cultivation specialist and try to prove it. You'll choose a type of tile and make a public declaration about how many you'll have in your bonsai by the end of the game. It's a fun way to add an extra layer of competition and excitement to the game. The "Specialists" module is not compatible with solo mode, but the "Vigorous Growth" module can be used on your own or with friends. With playtime ranging from 0 to 40 minutes, you can fit in a quick game or make it a longer, more immersive experience. Either way, Bonsai: Vigorous Growth and Specialists is a great way to mix things up and keep your Bonsai games feeling fresh and exciting. The expansion was designed by Martino Chiacchiera, Rosaria Battiato, and Massimo Borzì, who clearly wanted to create a fun and engaging experience that would appeal to fans of the original game. Whether you're a seasoned Bonsai player or just looking for a new challenge, this expansion is definitely worth checking out.
