Verdant
Arrange houseplants around your home so each one gets the light it wants.
What it is
A fun game for 1 to 5 people, perfect for anyone with too many plants and one sunny windowsill. You draft room and plant cards into a three by five home, alternating them in a checkerboard. Match sunlight symbols so plants thrive, while rooms score for the plants beside them. The whole thing wraps up in 13 rounds.
What we love
- Each plant wants its own light, so placement is a real puzzle.
- Watering cans, trowels and fertilizer add small ways to score.
- Variable goals change the puzzle from game to game.
Honest trade-offs
- The alternating grid can force you into a weak card late on.
- Plants placed late get fewer chances at sunlight, so the endgame takes planning.
