Abandon All Artichokes
A veggie deck-builder where you win by throwing cards away and ditching every artichoke.
Who it's for
You want a deck-builder with a twist and a short playtime, or you love a good vegetable pun. Good as a quick second round for a group that likes card combos.
Not for you if…
You want a long, deep deck-builder. It is small and fast, and more luck than heavy strategy.
Vibe's take
Brisk and clever: you chain vegetable powers, shred your deck, and feel it getting leaner. The race element keeps you glancing at what the others are doing.
About this game
A vegetable-themed deck-builder where you do the opposite of what deck-builders usually ask: you shrink your deck. Your garden is overrun by prickly artichokes, and the goal is to get rid of them. You prune your deck by harvesting fresh veggies from the shared market, each with a special power that lets you swap, discard, or compost cards. It is a race, it plays in about twenty minutes, and the open market means every pick also changes what your opponents can grab. Expect puns, quick turns, and a deck that gets leaner every round.
