About the game

What is Plantopia: The Card Game?

Plantopia is a strategy card-based game where players harness their gardening abilities to contend for the coveted title of Plantopia’s Champion Gardener. Manage the plants in your hand and in your tableau and plant the best combos to earn the most magical leaves. But pay attention to all of your fellow gardeners, as whoever can predict the weather can make their plants grow! Capitalize upon the immediate powers of the Baby Plants while harnessing the scoring combos of the Treevolved Plants. Will you go for the fast-growing Flowers, the card-drawing Cacti, or the weather-controlling Trees? Or a combination of all of the above? You’ll always find new plants and different strategies awaiting every trip you take to Plantopia! —description from the publisher
