Solar Gardens Debuts!
That’s right, our newest easy-to-learn tile-drafting strategy game, Solar Gardens, releases day 1 of Gen Con! Step into your role as a visionary architect and create a flourishing rooftop garden by drafting tiles and placing them in their grid. Of course, no garden would be completely without some healthy competition, so you’re also aiming to build the highest-scoring rooftop garden on your street.
Each tile represents a different element of a rooftop garden, such as solar panels, wind turbines, plant beds, rainwater collectors, decorative features, and more. You must balance aesthetics, energy efficiency, and animal diversity to outscore the other gardens.
You can still sign up to play full games of Solar Gardens at Gen Con HERE!
