BONSAI
1-4 players | ages 8+ | 40 minutes 202
Take a deep breath, boil a cup of tea, and focus on becoming a true bonsai master in this calming, family weight tile-laying game. Each turn, players may meditate by choosing a face-up card and the wood, flower, leaf, or fruit tiles below it to add to their personal supply. Players may also use their collected tiles to cultivate their tree by adding tiles from their supply to their evergrowing bonsai tree. If at any time a bonsai tree fulfills the requirements of any unclaimed goal tiles, a player can claim that tile or renounce it to attempt an even higher goal. During play, Helper, Master, and Growth cards will aid your vocation and special Parchments give you end-of-game points. As the sun sets on the game, points are scored based on the tiles that comprise each player's tree. A truly enlightening experience.
CHICKEN!
2-8 players | ages 8+ | 10-20 minutes.
