SUCCULENT
No need for a cutting remark…
Designer: J. Alex Kevern | Publisher: Renegade Studios
This reviewer has a soft spot for gardening games. Any time you place us in a gardening plot full of attractive flowers and plants, we’re already smiling. It works for us on the principle that whatever happens in the game, we’re all going to be looking at an attractive board at the end of it.
Enter Succulent, which may be more muted than some gardening games, but has all the pleasures of a really nicely maintained courtyard. From the creator of Gold West and last year’s Artsee, a set of gardeners is tasked with collecting together cuttings to complete gardening projects. The most prolific or successful gardener (i.e. point from the project cards) is the winner.
