Asmodee will release Botanicus, a new gardening game by Hans im Gluck, into U.S. retail on October 18, 2024.
In this Kennerspiel des Jahres-recommended game (see “Nominees Unveiled“) by Vieri Masseini and Samuele Tabellini, players assume the roles of aristocrats building botanical gardens. To build the best gardens, they will need to make strategic choices and manage resources to ensure that they grow the most beautiful plants when they are in full bloom. The game is driven by a unique action selection mechanic that encourages players to make different choices in various growth stages of the plants. The player’s garden that satisfies the most visitors and is deemed the most beautiful will win the game.
The game is for two to four players, ages 10 and up, and plays in 45 minutes. It will retail for $49.99.
