There’s not much room to wiggle once your home is half built. Regardless of the path you choose, you’ll want to decide pretty early on. These are but just a few of the ways you can chart your path to victory! Everyone can employ different strategies and find themselves battling it out for the win. Still again you can achieve victory by having a home filled with high value plants so you work hard to meet their verdancy requirement and pot them. Or maybe you want to collect unique items to earn the highest point value so you work to collect cards based on the items they come with. Perhaps you want to have a room strategy where you attempt to collect only a few colors and pair them with their like colored plants, thereby earning bonus points galore. There are many different paths to victory. I appreciate how from the very start of the game you have to both think about your long term strategy while also leaving room for flexibility. The experienced gamer will love how many decisions they’ll have to mull over. I find that Verdant has all the qualities to delight both the new and experienced gamer. The beautiful artwork and unique theme invite you in where you meet a surprising level of challenge and brain burning decisions within a game that feels like it’s giving you a hug the entire time.

(Example: if you choose the room card, the above plant card will receive one Green Thumb.) Green Thumbs can be used to take special actions. Players can store a single item token on their storage card for later use.Īfter a player has completed the above, the market is refilled and a Green Thumb token is added to the remaining card in the column the player selected their card. Watering Can: Add 1 verdancy to up to 3 plants surrounding a single room. Hand Trowel: Add 1 verdancy to up to 3 plants Each Nature Item provides a player with a different way to add verdancy: These are one time use tokens and must be discarded after use. If you collected Nature Item tokens with your card, you can use them to add verdancy to the plants in your home. Items placed into rooms that are the same color will increase the rooms scoring potential. Items may be placed into any open room in your home. Once the total number of verdancy tokens on the plant matches the required verdancy, you may place a Plant Pot Token on that card.Īfter selecting and playing your card into your home, you may then choose to place or use the item token that you collected. If so, then a verdancy token is added to the plant. Whenever a Plant or a Room Card is placed into your home, you check to see if a match between the lighting condition on the Plant Card and the Room Card have been made. ![]() Players will work to place plants next to rooms which help fulfill their “verdancy requirement” so they can “complete” the plant and add a Plant Pot Token for bonus points. ![]() Each plant has unique lighting requirements. A players home consists of a 5 card wide by 3 cards tall grid of alternating plant and room cards.Įach side of the room card features a different type of lighting condition. On each turn, players will select an adjacent combination of a card and a token from the market and play them into their home in front of them.
