Botanicus

Botanicus is a board game that challenges you to cultivate a 19th-century botanical garden and delight demanding visitors.

Compete for the best action spaces, then grow plants through stages—seeds, sprouts, grown, and full blossom—while watering wisely and keeping an eye on the gardener. Money is tight, timing matters, and your final score hinges on satisfied visitors and the beauty of your grounds. Includes both basic and expert modes on the board and player tableaus for a family-friendly game that scales in depth. Designed for 2–4 players, about 45 minutes, ages 10+. Published by Z-Man Games. Available now at Boarding School Games—bring it to game night.
