VICIOUS GARDENS
Number of Players: 2-6
Playing Time: 20-45 Minutes
Recommended Ages: 10+
Vicious Gardens is a card game that combines the joy of gardening with the thrill of being a total jerk. Strategically cultivate your garden, harvest plants, and sabotage others in a cut-throat competition.
Grow and harvest eccentric plants such as Fuzzlesquash, Spotted Bildge, or Floofberry in your garden. Over 80 uniquely named and illustrated plants are guaranteed to captivate and entertain — even if your neighbor ends up stealing them!
Vicious Gardens has a unique cast of specialists ready to sabotage your opponents and help your garden flourish: Wormsworth, Beebeard, the Curmudgeon, and many more. Use these Specialists to obtain garden upgrades and Victory Cards. But beware, your competition can hire their own Specialists.
Obtain special abilities by harvesting your plants to attain Victory Cards, too. Adding Victory Cards such as Carnivorous Plants and Gnudist Gnomes are your surest way to victory. Once a gardener has accumulated three Victory Cards in their garden, the End of the Season (a.k.a. end of the game) begins!
Gameplay Basics
- Step 1: Plant - Plant into different Plots based on category: Fruit, Flowers, Produce, and Herbs. These are worth one point each, but you will also need to harvest these to use Specialists or obtain Victory Cards. Gardening is all about balance!
- Step 2: Use Specialists - Strategically play your Specialists to improve your garden or sabotage others. The best gardeners get their hands dirty ;)
- Step 3: Harvest for Victory Cards - Harvest the requisite plants and obtain your Victory Cards before other gardeners can! These are worth eight points each and provide unique bonuses for you to take advantage of.
- End the Season! - The gardener that obtains their third Victory Card ends the season! Take the End of Season token and prepare to gloat while other gardeners take their final turn.
Team Play! - Partner-up or triple-up to work together in your quest of botanic domination. This game mode is easy to apply and, in our opinion, almost more delightfully vicious. Simply plant in your partner's garden and team up in ruining other's. Misery loves company after all.
