Description

Arboretum is a fun and strategic card game that's easy to learn and plays in just 30 minutes. Designed by Dan Cassar and published in 2015, it's perfect for 2 to 4 players who love set collection, tile-laying, and hand management. The goal is to create beautiful garden paths and score the most points by collecting and strategically placing cards featuring different species of trees. Players draw cards, lay them out to build their arboretum, and discard others to their personal pile. When the deck runs out, players compare their hands to see who can score each color. The player with the highest value of cards in a color gets to score points for their corresponding tree paths, with bonus points for paths featuring only one color. With its simple rules and engaging gameplay, Arboretum is a great choice for anyone looking for a quick and enjoyable game.
