Hone Your Green Thumb in Gartenbau from 25th Century Games

Nov 15, 2022

A new gardening themed game is arriving this month from 25th Century Games. In Gartenbau, players take on the task of seeding and growing a well balanced garden. The game is for two to four players, ages 14+, plays in around 30 to 60 minutes, and will carry an MSRP of $49.99 when it arrives November 30th.

About the game:

Gartenbau is a 2-4 player game in which players place and lay tiles in a tableau to meet the growing requirements of drafted flower tiles. A dual track rondel combined with three layers of tile laying are at the core of this beautiful game.

Take on the role of a gardener, seeking to wield your green thumb to grow a well-balanced, mature garden before the growing season ends.

You will sow seeds and grow a variety of plants to fill out your garden. In addition, if you meet the complex growing condition of your Flowers, you’ll earn Prestige Points for your horticultural achievements.

The player who earns the most prestige at the end of the game is crowned The Master Gardener.

Gartenbau is set in the late 19th century and all of the artwork used in this game is vintage from that era. This game is dedicated to all of the unknown artists who created wonderful works for various seed and flower catalogs during that period, leaving their mark on a beautiful era for garden art.
