Read the full game description

Your goal in Arboria is to get your favorite flowers noticed in this garden. You have to handle the sun, rain and wind. Put shadow on your opponents in order to overgrow their flowers and make yours the biggest and most beautiful ones. But be careful as your opponents have the same objective... In more detail, players play cards to grow flowers, move the sun, move the cloud, create rain, or destroy opponents' flowers. On your turn, play three cards from all available (yours and the unused ones from your preceding opponents). Once the sun has circled the board, the game is over. Points are allocated by multiplying the height of your biggest flowers by the number of same color flowers in a row. ••• Endossez le rôle d’un des quatre jardiniers les plus expérimentés d’ARBORIA Votre but est simple : faire ressortir votre espèce favorite au beau milieu de ce parterre de fleurs. Pour cela vous devrez composer avec le soleil, la pluie ou encore le vent. Faites de l’ombre à vos adversaires, afin que vos fleurs soient les plus grandes et majestueuses d’entre toutes ! Mais attention, vos adversaires pourraient bien venir contrecarrer vos plans… Stratégie, opportunisme et de bonnes mains vertes vous aideront à accomplir cette tâche. Alors qu’attendez-vous pour enfiler votre tablier de jardinier et venir contribuer à la croissance végétale sous le soleil d’Arboria ?
