Build a covetable succulent collection, one clever pick at a time.
Who it's for
Good for players who enjoy tableau-building and set-collection games with a light, appealing theme.
Not for you if…
Skip it if you want a purely peaceful builder — there's a light take-that edge from occasionally raiding an opponent's plants.
Vibe's take
Calm but calculating — the pace is gentle, but each of the twelve rounds asks you to weigh your own growth against opportunities to disrupt an opponent's.
Gretchen's Garden turns succulent collecting into a tight tableau-building duel-of-sorts. Across twelve rounds, players add rare pots and specimens to their growing collection, weighing which pieces boost their own display against the occasional opportunity to snatch a leaf from a rival's plant. No green thumb required — the appeal is in optimizing a small, ever-shifting collection round after round. Whoever assembles the trendiest, highest-scoring garden wins.
